[QUOTE="Henshin-a-go-go, post: 746109, member: 71716"] Dunno about you guys, but having put up with the pissant X3100 on the MacBook for so long, I finally did the one sensible thing and traded the set for a BenQ notebook, with plenty to spare. Ben who? Just google it up. The design of this thing is a joy to behold, and it is a triumph on the outside and in, but most importantly it is a big win on both CPU and GPU. I ran 3DMark on it a few months back and got this result. 3DMark06 (running @ default 1280x800): 3150 SM2.0 Score: 1216 HDR/SM3.0 Score: 1188 CPU Score: 1732 The build is steady. The chassis doesn't feel hot on your palms or thighs. It comes with HDMI and VGA output that doesn't need another adapter. And best of all, it plays Crysis well enough at medium settings. I bought this a few months ago, and now BenQ has come up with S42 that has faster CPU and Nvidia 9600M, which together scores over 5000 in 3DMark06. The price? S42 is cheaper than the new MacBook.
