    Hi guys,

    my M6400 just arrived. Yeeha. I ordered it with RGB LED last friday and here it is - already. ;-)

    Specs are:
    X9100
    FX3700M
    4GB RAM
    160GB HD (will be replaced with a SSD some time)
    RGB LED (1920x1200)


    I have 2 questions.

    1. How can I find out, if it's really RGB LED. Something like a device manager hardware id would be great.

    2. I ran a SpecViewperf test on this baby. It simply rocks. I also plugged in an ammeter while testing. At full load (don't know if cpu was also on full load) I got a value of max. 122 Watts. Hmmm, does the "brick" just play a supporting role for the battery? At idle status the ammeter showed me about 60 Watts.

    What's the deal with that -really- huge 210 power unit?

    Yeah, how'd you manage that? I ordered mine on 11/3 and won't have it until 12/6 now (after 2 delays).

    Something's just not right...

    Ok, thanx. Only one question - is your ID RGB LED or normal LCD?

    It may have only been 120 watts, but was the battery also charging?
