Optimus III

By viewing angles I mean do the colours distort or the picture in any way get noticeably worse if you look at the screen from a different angle? both horizontally and vertically. It's a massive issue with my current laptop that if I move my head slightly everything turns blue and is unreadable.

You have the smaller battery though right? there was an option for a larger one which should last 27% longer apparently (although at a £39 cost... idk if it's worth it and you've got the laptop already so doesn't matter much for you anyway unless you want a spare :P)

Thanks for that link! it told me a lot of what I needed to know there, being able to overclock the GPU without messing with the BIOS is always a plus, especially if it runs cool.

Ah, then not at all! You may be better getting the matte screen if you're working in a very light open environment, as the light may hit it and make the screen more unclear. In general though, the screen is fantastic. Outstanding resolution, and perfect from every angle as far as I'm concerned.

I do indeed. It works well enough, just not like some which say get 8-9 hours of battery life. How that's possible, I have no clue. I've just unplugged the battery, and am going to be doing a lot of research in the next few hours, so will tell you how I get on using balanced mode.

No problem, as long as you got what you needed.

...just got the warning message, as it's down to 11%. That's not bad going, considering that I've been searching the net more often than not.

However that was on balanced, and it didn't entail playing any games etc.

Did you fast track the build or delivery at all?

I ordered mine lunchtime last friday, and its still in pre-production!

Hi, I just wanted to ask a few questions about the Optimus III laptop, since I want to get myself one of those next month. The configuration I've chosen is the following;

Optimus Series: 15.6" Glossy Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3610QM (2.30GHz) 6MB
4GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (1 x 4GB)
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M - 1.0GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
250GB WD SCORPIO BLACK WD2500BEKT, SATA 3 Gb/s, 16MB CACHE (7200 rpm)

I play mostly Starcraft 2 and performance is more important for me than graphics quality. That being said, I plan to play most of my games on 1380x768, instead of 1080p. What I want to ask is how 1380x768 looks on a 1080p display, because I've heard that the image quality is horrible and most people prefer to go for low/medium settings on a 1080p resolution, rather than 1380x768 on high/ultra? Thank you.

have your laptop run at 1080p as its nativve, but when u play starcraft on settings set it to 786, it would look great and ur performance would be good also
