First of all, after 4 "long" weeks of waiting it's here.
My first impression is really good:
it's solid built, it's big and it has a "classic" and elegant design.

I'm installing all I had in the "old" laptop, so I will have a better idea in some days, but I played yet 4 matches on one of the two game I bought this laptop for (Starcraft II) and it's really a "dream"
I'm not an "hard gamer" but I "play hard the game I like", so the fact I can play it at the maximum settings possible, without any real problem is letting me discover a lot of particulars I didn't see before, details and whatever :D

Now I should have some "newbie" question about some details of the laptop, I don't know I can ask here, or in another section of the forum
Let me see :)
