New laptop

[Jackthemeangiant]

Just thought I would share that I got my new laptop.

It is an Asus Z71V model:

15.4" WSXGA+ (1680x1050) LCD
1.6ghz overclocked at 2.13ghz Pentium M processor (equivilent to a 3.2ghz P4)
1gb (2x512) DDR2-4300 @ 533mhz
PCI-X Nvidia GeForce Go 6600 128mb dedicated ram
60gb Hitatch 7200rpm drive - I had a hell of a time finding this, was backordered everywhere


So far I have had no problems (knock on wood), and this laptop seems amazing. It is a bit bulky, but still very portable. Weighs just over 6 lbs, so it is just he weight of a textbook. I havn't tired gaming yet, as I am still in the process of installing everything.

I am going to try to undervolt the processor to extend battery life and drop the temperature.

Will keep you guys updated :)

I got a 400mhz FSB Pentium M, and i just set the laptop to run at 533mhz (133mhz FSB).

I think you have to do a trick with a wire in the socket on most other laptops, mine however, just has a dip switch to adjust this.
