    Thanks. That's one of the better ones so far, I'd say. I think the only thing I disagreed with--and it's really a very small point--is how they thought it made sense with the discrete GPU on the entire time, the R2, due to Optimus, would have better battery life; since Optimus is all about switching the GPU on/off at the right times, if it's on the whole time, Optimus is inconsequential. They hit all the main points mentioned on this forum, save the hinge problem (which isn't going to show up using a test system from a few days) and the quality of the screen (though I really like mine since adjusting the colors in the Intel Control Panel).

    Did you post your color settings anywhere? I haven't bothered doing any calibrations yet and would be interested. :)

    Sure, this is the setting for all colors, except 'brightness' for blue is dropped to 50.
