That MANCHINE is too Fvkin sweet

Looks like the 9200 with a black boarder instead of a white..

Amen, too bad it doesn't come in a 15.4" widescreen too, or I'd get one, especially with the True Life screens.

Sux that it does not have an eraserhead... touchpads are horrible.

lelliott731 · 02-24-2005, 09:36 AM

Especially if someone comes along with oily hands, it completely messes the touchpad up.

I wish it was available in WXGA+ as WUXGA is just a little too small for default text in most applications. Of course you can tweak the DPI setting but that will slightly distort screen rendering on many applications / web pages as Windows XP does not fully support any DPI other than 96.

Man, that thing is throwing down some mean benchmarks. Check out that 3dMark05 score (mislabeled in graphic). I haven't seen a laptop hit that with stock settings. I'm going to be returning my M70 for this for sure!

But hell that is ugly... I mean those black highlights really suck. They should have stuck with the white highlights. Damn nice specs though...

I must be the only person who prefers the Xps trim to the 9300/9200! I don't like the lid though!

It's more of a futuristic look. I sort of don't mind it too much.

Battey life is less than half the i9200s- 2:13 vs 4:59. I wonder if that's the video card or the new display causing that.

Wish I could have seen the benchmarks...can anyone recall and share!

DaddyOf2Girls · 02-24-2005, 11:09 AM

Yes that reads 12,169 in 3DMark03.
