If yes,then can anybody confirm the Black levels,contrast ratio,colour quality,etc. of the display?

GPU temps are shown so that means he was monitoring while gpu was running.. It stops after game is quit.

r u using the laptop's keyboard while playing games also?
keyboard does makes some noise while typing , does this one makes loud squeaking noise than other laptops keyboards ??

some users had told about the low contrast ratio ? where we can feel the difference in contrast ratio between 2 lappys one having higher than other ?
in normal usage , playing games , watching movies inside room(well lit) , does any problem arises due 2 this low contrast ratio?



why r u selling it?
r u facing some mazor issue ?

i am going to buy a laptop in next few weeks ... i am finding this lappy with its configuration very interesting ?
shud i opt for it or not ?
many usrrs r expiericing some strange issues with this lappy?
waht about throttling issue , heating issue and fps drop issue while playing games?
does all this issue are not there with the release of offcial gt650m drivers or now also it exists?

someone need to answer all this query?

max temps are too low
and min temps are usually below 60c before gaming

How come Cpu will consume 8W during gameplay it takes 9W to launch Easy software manager!

i always use lappy's keyboard...i dont find the noise annoying..
for me it never throttled except for ac2
personally i prefer the drivers which came with lappy than the recent drivers bcoz of better temps
