    A few questions:
    1. Does the LED screen tire your eyes working on it all day?
    2. Is the webcam with the standard screen actually better than the one on the LED screen?
    3. Does the NVidia graphics card cause overheating as some say?

    Thanks,

    Ricketty

    I can't answer question #1, because, after ordering my m1330 with the standard screen, then changing my mind, my order arrived. I opened the box, started using the m1330 and decided that the standard screen looks GREAT! Bright and crisp image... MUCH better then my previous HP, which I've used and managed to live with without problems.

    Question #2, yes, if you get the LED screen, you'll get a .3 VGA camera. If you purchase with the standard screen, it comes with a 2MP camera, which produces an excellent image. That's another reason I kind of prefered to stick with the standard screen if it was acceptable, I like using video conferencing, and I was somewhat concerned with how the .3MP camera would perform. (I posted a thread, asking people to upload samples of video taken with a .3 camera and one taken with the 2MP camera, but nobody ended up uploading videos for people to compare.

    As for question #3, I have the NVidia card, and my laptop runs Coooooool. NO heat issues whatsoever!

    Hope this helps!

      Don't have one.
    2. Is the webcam with the standard screen actually better than the one on the LED screen?
      Yes. 2.0MP vs 0.3MP
    3. Does the NVidia graphics card cause overheating as some say?
      Not that I have noticed.
