Man, how does that thing compare to your current desktop? You know you're decadent when your laptop is better or equal to your desktop. :P


Really cool stuff though.

heh...thanks. Not sure about game performance, but the thing's really snappy in Vista. After I turned off UAC and did some other tweaking, Vista really isn't so bad. I haven't had any problems with it so far, at least.

I installed Steam on it yesterday... I may try playing some games today to see how it performs. I doubt the game performance will be better than my 8800gt.

is that Vista 32 or 64 bit? Cause if you can run 3dmark 05 on it I might try it too.

It's got Vista 64 home premium. I have no idea if 3d mark runs on it... I guess I can try.

ok, I got 3dmark06 to run (you have to copy some openAL drivers to get it to work). I scored 3564 3dmarks.

I reran PCMark05 using hybridSLI and scored 7073 PCMarks.

Yea so - we learned that my dog can kill Satis' new Laptop by laying on it. So, Satis is getting a new one sent to us by Dell. Then he will have to return the old one that no longer works. I think Satis hates my dog now. Poor little/big guy!

Actually considering, Satis was very understanding. Just a little pissed.
