I was looking for a replacement for my P4 3GHz ATIX850Pro. Had only remember that a laptop brings the necessary power, because I also HDV video editing. But the notebook has convinced me, video editing (rendering) is 3 x faster Flightsim X with ext.Monitor in 1920 x 1280 resolution without judder, work under Vista without delays, very fast. In normal working very quietly, you can hear only a faint noise of the fan is not unpleasant. While gambling a little louder, but also does not interfere. BlueRay on notebook 40 "FullHD HDMI without problems. Internal Sound is OK, not tinny geklimber as other notebooks. Design just super exceptional, not as square as others.
