That is about what it will be when I receive it. Plans are for it to be plugged in 24/7 and connected via a HDMI cable to a Sony 42" lcd tv.

Damn, thats a big machine! For the price though i would have thought it would come with an i7..But the i5 is plenty awesome. If you are hooking it up to your tv then why did you get a laptop with such a large screen?

The price was right and it had all the features I wanted in a laptop as well. The truth is I have always used my desktop gamer as an everyday pc but I kept corrupting hdd's benching and general fiddling around with it. I got tired of recovering all my data like online bill pay and such, so I figured I would get this laptop and make it my 24/7. Now, if I can just resist benching the damn thing...:laugh:

I've been wondering for a while but how does the Lenovo battery fare on the new 15.6 Laptops?

I think it's a 15.4 actually ;)

Batter has a 12% wear level, but for web browsing or MS Office I typically get about 3-3.5 hours. Full CPU load or games is much less

Damn....i have yet to see a 15.4 or a 15.6 laptop to manage 5 hours these days. I thought Lenovo would have had some trump card on that. >_>

It's not too bad since I either use it at home or at school, and there are abundant outlets both places. I'd imagine it would get significantly better battery life with just the integrated GPU (there's an option to disable the dedicated ATI card, but I haven't tried it).

I have a G71 with a GTX 260 and a 17.1" screen. I have nothing but praise for it, I am highly impressed, just don't expect to game on the go with it, just surfing the internet, I have a 2 hour battery life and it's freaking huge.

So...In the end, I decided not to buy my cousins laptop for £250 but instead to focus on getting my sleeping beast (of a laptop) flying again...

Now....parts can be fairly expensive but here is a to-do list of what needs to be fixed...

#1 Screen - A new panel can cost me £80. But what a lot of people are saying my problem is down to a dead screen inverter - so that will cost £25 for a replacement. Im hoping its just the inverter that has gone south but If i have to buy a new panel then i will.....reluctantly

#2 the DVD-Rw drive is posessed - it auto ejects disks by itself and reads dvds/cds etc etc once everyblue moon when it feels like it - So it has got to go....BUT theres a problem - its an old IDE drive since the laptop WAS made in 2006 and they can cost anywhere from £25-50 as they dont make them anymore - Ive found a replacement on ebuyer for £28.....NOW....heres an easy solution to the problem - I could just take the borked DVD-Rw out and grab an EXTERNAL DVD-Rw for £20 which seems to be the better idea as i save money.

---

anyhoo - If the new screen inverter doesnt fix the main issue with my laptop then I will need to buy a new panel which means the total cost to fix it would be £100+ (if paying P&P)

the money spent to fix this laptop up isnt really 'value for money' at all - but £250 will get you a netbook that will struggle to run things.

£100+ gets me a Dual Core 1.66Ghz, X1600MR GFX and 2Gb DDR2, 14.1 Screen And Windows 7 Ultimate = A total BEAST of a machine compared to what you can get for £250. - this laptop will pound any netbook or £300 laptop into the ground - It might not have its good looks anymore but deep inside it has the heart and the strength of a thousand beasts raging to take to the skys once again.

So that is what i plan on doing - fix this laptop up and hopefully get a few more years out of her

I dont think its worth putting an SSD in this one, I'l be happy with a 250/320Gb scorpio black at the moment though its all put on hold until the inverter comes in. because if it aint the inverter thats broke then im gonna need to fork out £80 ($128 USD) for a brand new screen. everything hangs in the balance. and i have prayed to many gods just for it to be a inverter problem because I really do not want to fork out for a new screen

funnily enough though. there was a shop that wanted to charge me £300 ($482.95 USD) to put a new screen in which is just totally laughable. If only the average consumer knew how easy it is to put a new screen in themselves. i didnt want to swear in front of the kids but when he said £300 i was like holy motherf**K?! thats like a weeks worth of wages. you could even buy a netbook AND upgrade to an 8cell battery and 2GB ram for almost the same price.
