thought i'd freshen up my OCs and show something a little different :sweatdrop

I also tested a HP DV6500T which has a GS card but the thermal design on HP was so much worse.....i was getting massive slowdowns/low point scores with really small OCs

Sony laptop has a killer thermal design....and i could not hear any fans either EEK >> the LCD screen is still one of the best ones i've seen and continues to be great and follow the footsteps of FE series laptops :thumb:. Lowest amount of reflection on glossy screen and some great brightness and colours.... it just looked awesome. HP was so reflective i could see myself in the freaking screen >>> how annoying lol

off to HWBOT to collect some much needed points now too
