The laptop has arrived and I'm finally testing it. I love the keyboard setup (pop-up keys which allows for better cleaning) and I haven't had any issues with the touchpad so far. 

Also I made a mistake about the specifications. It isn't a i7-2310QM, it's a i7-2630QM which rates at 7.9 in the windows experience index. Lowest experience index is the HDD at 6.4

Going to install a couple of games and will later give an impression about the graphical performance.

Whats the graphics card rate on the windows experience index?

7.1

That's a big improvement from my previous Geforce GT 9650M, which was a 5.9

Nice so your right around where I am for my laptop (7.0) Before this my other laptop had a 3.1 >_< I couldn't do anything with that!

You tried playing the Witcher 2 on it yet?

Haven't got it yet, I won't be able to afford new games for a while. Only tried Crysis, Dirt 2 and Dragon Age Origins on it. Crysis runs at 45 - 50 fps on average on high at 1366x786 resolution 2x AA, only dropping to 30 in very excessive foliage. Dirt 2 and DAO run at 60 fps constant with everything maxed.

Damn you can run Crysis 2 on high on that thing?!?  Man if I could share my copy of The Witcher 2 with you I would cause i'm interested to see how your computer could handle it. Mine can only play it on Medium settings with 22-28 FPS (but for some reason I can't really tell that the Frame rate is so low)

I think it's mostly due to the CPU rather than the GPU. The i7-2630QM is supposedly the 15th fastest available CPU in the market nowadays. Each core is 2.00 GHz but can turboboost to 2.9 GHz. 

The 6770M isn't too shabby as well. Since this is the 192 bits GDDR5 version, it's performance is on par with the GT 555M and HD 6870M GDDR3.

Also, what are your PC specifications?
