What is truly amazing is that it really does not get that hot, and it does exactly what I want it to. If necessary, I'll buy a 2nd battery or something, and have a power save mode (not much good that'll do considering the components), but the main thing is that I am going to be inside, near a plug most of the time. Power shouldn't be that big a problem.

As for its capabilities... oh man. It feels like a dream. Fast as can be, beautiful screen, has an hdmi out I've used a couple times. I ran 3DMark05 and got a pretty decent score. Vantage would not run for me, so I am using 3DMark06. Then I'll run PCMark05. Gosh... I mean, I've really never had a laptop of my own before. I had a dinky netbook about a year ago, and it was alright, but it just was not what I wanted. I'm on a spending spree now, finding protectors, cases, extra batteries, etc.
