    I expected 3:30... It´s nice anyway.. But I allready post order for X4500MHD... I don´t play games.. only need full HD video - and X4500 should handle it easily... If not - i send it back and buy the one with NVS160..

    John Ratsey: In your review - you used only CPU for play HD video? If you set up X4500 propertly, CPU usage should be between 4-8% .... So I ask, if that is true, what I´ve read about X4500..

    That's still good.

    Look at the first part of the Device Instance ID string. This is for my 14.1" LG-Philips.

    Alt-Fn-Prt Scn is what i use to capture the current window.

    I would hope it can be stretched to 5 hours. The only extra power consumption relative to my E6400 is the bigger display needing a little more backlight power.

    Look carefully at the E6400 graphs in my review and you will see the OS load is 9% and 13% for the two tests. The CPU was cruising in the SLFM mode (800MHz) for most of the time.

    SEC is Samsung. From what I've read in another thread, the Samsung is the better display in the 15.4" size while the LG is better at 14.1". Anyway, if you like it, who makes it is irrelevant.
