The article criticises the protruding battery, but on my XPS 1530 it was a minor revelation. You simply couldn't sit with it on you lap for long at all, unless fried legs are your sort of thing, so the optional 9-cell battery propping up the base of the laptop was more than welcome. The XPS isn't an especially warm laptop either.

I'd much prefer something I can shift around to balance uncomfortableness than propping a laptop up on a book or carrying around a cooler or something.

Looks fine but is it HDCP compliant at 120HZ? If it is not it will not be possible to fully utilise the latest Cyberlink Mark 10 software on 3D Vision Blu-Ray. I had a problem with the Samsung 2233RZ screen on this point which was only resolved by replacing it with the Acer 245GD monitor

Yet another laptop with a 1366x768 resolution and no expresscard slot. In fact, I don't see the latter at all in most Asus laptops!

Just a minor quibble with Nvidia's response to this review. The new 3D Fuji camera is in fact the W3 (not the W2, they went straight from the W1 to the W3), and has already been released. The W3 is a bit smaller than the W1 and the video quality is reportedly better, but the stills quality has only increased marginally if at all.
