Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Just got a y500 with the i5 and sli 650m for the gf. It's really great for the price. The Bly negative is the touchpad but you won't be using that for gaming anyways.
I don't need it but for the price I want to see how a big behind the neck band would feel. Plus I'm gonna give the dvd to my nieces so it all works out in the end.
If you plan to game with an external monitor, i would skip the r1 and r2 m11x with the 335m graphics. The 335m will run games fine at its native resolution but will struggle at higher resolutions. I just don't recommend running games at 1366x768 on an external monitor. It looks kinda bad.

In for 1 set myself. Using 6 gb cl7 ocz ram atm but i don't overclock my i7 920 at all anymore. I'm hoping mixing the sets and running all at cl9 works out.
Ya, originally i was waiting for the motorola xoom wifi only option but with no release day set and the ipad 2 retaining the ipad 1 price points with a release date, i waited in line on release day and got one. Ive been extremely happy with my purchase, especially since the gpu speed is much...
Sager NP8150 or NP8170 (also known as Clevo P150HM & P170HM respectively) are new sandy bridge laptops with some awesome options. You can check them out at xoticpc. They have videos there of both of them running and torn down.
Xoticpc gaming laptops.. Just go to the desired laptop's page to...
No idea how the optional tv tuner works. Best bet would be to call up xoticpc and ask. As far as using the system as a htpc, I don't see why not. I do that now with my M11x just fine for mostly netflix and hulu streams.
Personally I wouldn't get a 17" laptop for htpc use since it's kinda big...
Just realize that the NP8170 is still on preorder status because of the SB chipset bug that had to be fixed and that no company has retail 6970s atm. You will be waiting for awhile. I ordered a NP8150 (same as the NP8170 but with 15.6"screen and just one hdd bay) mid February with the 485m...
Just know any of the Envy 14s with i7 cpu do not have switchable graphics between intergrated and dedicated. They only have dedicated graphics and have much much lower battery life because of that.
