Pretty kickass notebook. I've only got it for a couple of days now and I'm to busy to do a lot of benchmarking. It did 9200 points in 3Dmark01 (about) but I still haven't figured out how to completely let the CPU run flat out all the time because during the benchmark the speeds changed (and that's why i couldn't post the figure in the 3dmark database).

The screen is absolutely amazing, its 15" with 1600*1200 resolution (pretty small letters actually I changed some windows settings to compensate).

Config

1.7 centrino
512mb ddr 333 ram
60Gb 7200rpm HDD
VGA: Ati Fire GL T2 128mb
cdrw/dvd combo drive
wlan and bleutooth

this thing pretty much has it all (and costs less than its dell counterpart that is bulkier none the less, imo this is one great moble workstation)

you're right, it is an amazing notebook.

Download SpeedSwitchXP from www.diefer.de, that will allow you to control the speed of the processor. Hopefully it will score a little higher in 3DMark2001SE with the CPU running full speed - I would've hoped for 10000 at least, but then again, it is the FireGL.

Perhaps you can run get some CPU benchmarks also (Like PCMark04 and 2002, ScienceMark Cinebench etc.)

Thanks man,

Thanks for the cpu tip, I'll try it tomorrow, and PCmark, maybe 3dmark03 aswell, watching the benchmark for the 100th time was fun again all of a sudden thanks to the wonderfull screen on this laptop ( I might actually call it a lot better then my brothers powerbook G4 15" screen, clearer and stuuf) (but my time is precious for now, I'm graduating in 2 months and I've got a heck of a lot exams and so forth...)

Just thought I needed to post an opinion on the net somewhere because I did not find a single review when a had to make the purchase decision.
