| Thank you for the comment.
I've been going through somewhat of a transition in the past year, where I focused more on grammar and punctuations. Dryness and awkwardness thus have surfaced as I cut up sentences, insert punctuations and try to make things look more proper. I believe I'll eventually incorporate format into my writing, and regain my own unique style from the past.
The lack of real game benchmarking stems from the need to finish the article ASAP before the deadline, while also having to deal with many other college assignments. My nc8430 is fairly bogged down with softwares, data and registry garbage. A fresh install was not an option, because many of those things are school related. Therefore I had to come up with a way to explain performance, so that readers will understand what it is really capable of.
The lack of more details was my fault, there's no dispute about that. I always played games on servers with 64 people in CS and BF2. Hope that helps.
As for the last comment, although I can't defend myself, there's one thing I can say: time. Flag this | Edit this post |

| No idea how that typo slipped through, apologies.
The 8-cell standard battery IS made by Sony. However, defective batteries were those made for Lenovo and Dell, with different configurations. Therefore I don't think it is a major concern for any prospective nc8430 buyers. Hope that helps. Flag this | Edit this post |

| Thank you for your constructive criticism.
Portability was a big concern on the choice of my subject. For anyone that travels a lot or needs to take their laptop to multiple locations during the course of the day, a 15.4" is the maximum size acceptable. Therefore it is unrealistic to expect much more performance out of the unit, without significantly increasing heat output, weight while reducing battery life. Taking everything into consideration, the nc8430 serves as one of the best options for current-gen and next-gen titles, while maintaining excellent portability. Compromises have to be made until newer, more powerful hardwares appear on the market.
A challenge is a challenge. A competition is a competition. I don't see criticisms as discriminations, and I will continue to work on my grammar and sentence structures. Practice makes perfect, right? Flag this | Edit this post |

| Thank you for you comments.
It is generally assumed that playing any graphic-intensive games without having the laptop plugged in is simply pointless, since it will most likely run out of juice within the hour if not less than that. It's a good point, however, and I will include it ASAP.
Separating Keyboard/Screen from others was to point out how important a good keyboard and display matter in serious gaming, because both are aspects are often overlooked yet present direct contact with the entire gaming experience.
I will do as much as I can to further revise and polish my grammar and sentence structure, while at the same time try not to alter what I might have done well. Flag this | Edit this post |

| | Thank you, grammar has always been one of my weak points but I'll continue revising the article whenever I can. I'm working on the screenshots, but because I got a copy of Vista last week I sort of messed up my OS ....... Nonetheless, I'm trying to get them up ASAP. Flag this | Edit this post |
