-Optical WIRELESS mouse ($50 from staples but only $9 from amazon which is where i bought it. i bought a mouse pad from staples for $10 which cost me more than my mouse !!! haha)
-linksys router with giga lan and speed booster
- games; deusex invisible war, warcraft 3 tft, homeworld 2.
the chassis i got was from digitalhotbuy (http://www.digitalhotbuy.com), other parts came from zimzoomfly, amazon, and page computers. All these companies performed well, but i was VERY happy with digital hotbuy, they offered me a very low price on the z71v- $715 shipped.
the laptop is very sweet. i havent seen a better built machine. the only thing i have to say i dont like is that when u look at the right of the keyboard you will see that arrow keys are lower than the rest of the keyboard. now i dont care that its lower i just wish they made the rest of the keys thicker (especially spacebar so its easier to type). it wouldve looked sleaker and the most used buttons (on bottom) would be easier accessed.
I expected up to 6 dead pixels on mine. i was not freaking out about em, but my heart punded the first time i turned it on. i got 1 dead pixel between center and top right corner. i was going to take 6 times that so im happy with it. it looks small and insignificant and doenst bother me. Nothing is perfect although that is pretty much the only thing that kept it unperfect ( also the spacebar).
i might be able to write a real review after i get to use it, this is just the first impressions.
*note after i installed my processor and my computer was closed up, my brother asked me to give him his pen. and what do u know: STATIC electricity shocked his hand !it came from me of course. SO LUCKY MY CPU is undamaged
.you can ask any questions if u want later on.
