How would you tell if you have the LG screen or the other? When I get round to buying this it better have the LG screen, can't be bothered returning it etc.

In Device Manager, click Monitors, double click Generic PnP Monitor > Details tab > click the drop down to Hardware IDs and it will say MOTITORS\...

Or that HWInfo is a useful program to have

This looks pretty much what I'm after to replace my Samsung Gamer 7 (which I absolutely love but I need something a little more portable).

Screen is important though, I've been spoiled by the 7 which has probably the best 1080p screen I've used, and by my work's retina Mac..

One thing I really really like but could you guys confirm, is that from the picture I've seen the fans are completely exposed for cleaning when removing the bottom panel - is this right?

Yes. Remove the bottom panel and the fans are right there, easy to clean

Getting at the fans is very easy, removing the fans/heatsink assembly is a teardown through. While it's 'only' ~2.7KG, it's not exactly an ultra portable. My workmate was very impressed with the level of noise this makes while under load, in a fairly quiet office, a good trade off in my opinion for a few mm in thickness

Any one have the 4k screen that can comment? What brand is it? Is it any good compared to the 1080LG?

I really wish this had the thunderbolt port though, I want some level of future proofing, and not being able to use ddr4?

 

[HoodsUp]

Can anyone tell me a good M.2 SSD and and ram stick to put in? Also if someone could explain to me the difference between the B and M connectors on the SSD, I'll be happy. Cheers.

I used a 250GB Samsung 850 Evo M2 SSD. Works very nicely

Any 1600MHz DDR3L ram is fine. Just make sure it has the L or low power 1.35v in the description
I bought a Kingston 8GB stick for £35.

Thanks. Any good cloning/migrating software you can give me the names of?

Playing Crysis 3 last night, Nvidia Experience does a fair job of optimising recent games. After 2 hours or so the highest temperature reported on the GPU was 67c.

I ordered this last night. I hope they get some in stock soon!

 

[Genoma]

which one did you order?
