    One thing I did notice is after quitting a game that requires the NVidia card on the laptop, is you can still here the card (fan) run until you reboot the laptop even after 30 mins or so.
    Anyone else seem to notice this or am I the only one?

    The other thing that I hate, is the person who designed the new model, must have been right handed. They put the power adapter plug on the left, so if your left handed the cord is always in your way. What engineer thought this was a good idea? The previous models the plug was in the back, it was so much nicer.

    I returned it, I loved the weight of it and how sleek and slim it was but, its nto big enough for my needs I thought it would be, the track pad is too small, the screen is too small, I had a 14 it was a perfect size, I purchased the 15 I think it will be much better

    We're sorry to hear that you returned the system due to that. We look forward to have you back on our team!

    Perhaps you could look into something bigger, such as the Alienware 17. It has a bigger screen but is almost as light as the previous machine you had.
