At 830 this was a cold deal, at 650 its warm.

What do you mean? Specifications say "8X DVD+/-RW". I think "No Power DVD" is for the PowerDVD software by Cyberlink.
I would highly doubt it. You're looking at a 15.6 matte 1080p with gaming capability. The only other system that comes into mind would be the Lenovo Y50 and I don't ever seeing that going to $500. If anything, it'll be limited quantity and most of us will not be able to grab it. Dell sales, at least, are typically high in stock/availability, but I've never seen the Latitude 15 3000 with these specs going lower than $650 (it was $699 back in May).

Nice. Maybe it was the Lenovo that made the drive an extra $option. Oops.

I haven't run those games on the laptop, but at 720p it should be fine for sure.

Thanks I saw that in the review but I didn't know about the scrolling part. Doesn't work on mobile of course.Zenphic wrote: ↑I haven't run those games on the laptop, but at 720p it should be fine for sure.
FYI when looking at the benchmark in the review http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Del ... 885.0.html, scroll over the FPS to know the game settings/resolution.

I am just worried there may some design flaws that may cause the laptop to run hot during normal usage excluding gaming which I hardly do anyway. My ThinkPad T420s has a tiny heatsink in comparison and struggles with AOE 2 at low settings.BlueMax wrote: ↑From the review:
We reran 3DMark06 directly after the stress test in AC mode. The result was identical with that of a cold state. Consequently, performance losses should not occur in games. The CPU reached temperatures of up to 76 °C in AC mode.
The only thing that caused throttling seemed to be was when they ran Prime95 and Furmark run for at least one hour.
For something with some gaming performance, it does pretty darned well, it seems. Should I dig up more of the reviews I've read?
