Soldato
Proud 3810 TZG owner.
Had mine for a couple of weeks. Firstly the spec differences compared to the 8371.
Slightly slower ULV SU4100 Dual Core @ 1.3Ghz
Has Windows 7 HP pre-installed.
Looks different (metal titanium look on lid and wrist rest area)
HDMI port
NO BLUETOOTH
Windows Experience Index Scores:
Processor - 4.0
Memory: 4.8
Graphics - 4.5
Gaming Graphics - 5.9
HDD - 5.5 (this is the pre-installed 320GB disk)
My experience of the machine has mainly been with the portability and mobile office side. It is nice and light, is just the right kind of size and resolution for a road warrior, and has great wireless LAN range and speed (N wireless is built in) and the battery life is epic (9 hours genuine use for me). Tried SD videos (divx) and they look really nice on the glossy screen if you are sat in front of it. Yet to try 720p but will do in due course (when I move house and get Virgin 50meg!!)
Cons are screen has poor viewing angles and the glossy screen can cause glare which can be distracting if used in a well lit environment. Brightness is good though. Used it for skype and the webcam works well.
Yet to try any games on it, but have installed Steam and will download some of the older games in my catalogue to try it out. Chiclet keyboard is great when you get used to it but the ultra flat keys do take a while to "feel" comfortable.
Great great purchase. Best value machine I have ever bought
