Months on and I'm still deliberating over my new laptop config! I'm now trying to decide whether to go for the Optimus VI or Proteus II. Although I would get the better gpu with the Proteus, I really don't like the look of it. I have to say, in the top-down view of the keyboard it looks cheap imho. While looks won't be the ultimate deciding factor, it is putting me off substantially. I do want to be swayed to get it though, simply because it's better value for money. Reviews or snippets of feedback would really help. How are the keyboard and trackpad? Does it cool well even under stress? How's the fan noise? Any issues with anything at all?
Does anyone know why on Earth only the 500GB Samsung Hybrid SSHD is available for Proteus, not the 1TB? Surely they're the same dimensions?
If I go for the Optimus, I'm unsure whether to go for a 15 or 17 inch. Portability and weight aren't an issue for me, this will not leave the house. I was wondering if there were any benefits to a 17 inch screen (apart from screen real estate & picture size)? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that a 17 inch chassis is better at cooling than 15 inch, but couldn't for the life of me find anything about that when I tried Googling.
