    any pics? benchmarks? (Pi, 3D Mark 2005/2006, etc...)?

    BTW, how is the batt life on the S1? on battery saving mode (i.e., only wireless internet/web surfing, MS word, and low LCD brightness) how many hrs can u guys get?

    3-3.5 hrs? or maybe even longer? BTW, how hot do ur CPUs run (in Celcius) 45? 50? 55? Answering those questions would be grt, thanx

    Travis-

    The S1 Screen is comparable to the ASUS Z70va's screen, its a matte WSXGA screen, not glossy. The viewing angles are amazing and the vertical angles are good.

    The battery life is 3 hours on the lowest brightness, on battery saving mode, but the GPU was still clocked at it max speeds. If and one the GPU downclocks then you may be able to get another 20-30 minutes of batterylife.
    This is also with WIFI on and bluetooth off, and only doing web surfing and tpying documents.

    Also the lowest screen brightness is still bright enough to read and do almost anything you want.

    While doing intensive tasks the CPU hits roughly 53 degrees celcius, and the hard drive is roughly 44 degrees celsius.

    The left side of the laptop gets warm over time, the right side of the laptop stays cool.
