Well, I am used to playing on my M1710 so I am kind of partial to the WUXGA screen!! =) It looks amazing by the way.

I just got my t9300 and 4 GB DDR2800 in the mail. I got OCZ DDR2 and I believe that because it downclocks it might running faster. I know the VISTA benchamrk tool is worthless but my memory scores went from 4.5(+/-) to a 5.1 with the DDR2800. It runs amazing now, so I just need to get a WUXGA replacement off of ebay and I will be selling the M1710!

I also found out my problem with the brightness. I was using the quick adjust(F8) instead of the up/down arrows. LCD works great now! I even spoke to another guy who said he left the brackets on but it seems I got a better fit when I removed them.

Anyway, the system runs and plays great. Paying LOTRO with Hi-Res graphics and everything on high is =)....

Nothing really as most things and functions are built in. As for a car adapter...Not sure as the charger itself is a 125watt adapter which is a lot more then the average laptop power supply

EDIT: Since it's a car related...maybe a broadband card for internet on the go

Yea :/ monthly sucks. Best bet for car is a 200-400 watt or so power inverter and use the standard plug to power it Works perfectly.
