    That panel on the bottom of the notebook looks pretty big. I am almost tempted to get a high powered cooling pad and just take off that whole panel. Or maybe AS5?

    I don't think it sucks as a sense that its completely useless, but it doesn't last long and needs re-pasting after a couple of months,

    From what i see though mx3 and icd7 are definately the best.

    It's electrically conductive , kinda bleeds and needs a curing time .. can damaged components too , So it suck.

    been using mx3 since January and so far so good.

    The laptop was great but the lack of a backlit keyboard made me change my mind.

    Gah, backlit keyboards, the only nice one i think is the alienware ones, the rest suck, and this chicklet style is horrid in my view.

    GUYS
    Quick questions to all of you; I'm the happy owner of gt640 from last 3 weeks and I was wondering if anybody tried to open it? would it be possible to change the graphic card in the laptop? the one installed gts250m seats on MXM 3.0 type I or II slot. would it be possible to fit the card from gx640 which is ATI5850 ? have anyone tried this ? looking forward to hear you soon; regards kris
