    Some questions about this laptop. Couldnt find em by googleing.

    Why does it have 2 integrated microphones? On both sides of the webcam. Isnt 1 enough?
    Why does it have 3 or 4 WLAN antennas. Isnt 1 enough?
    What does the ambient light sensor under the screen actually do?

    Thanks.

    1- 2 integrated mics usually help for either stereo recording or some sort of improved audio pickup
    2- More antennas probably means better wireless connectivity, hard to know for sure.
    3- Ambient light sensor probably ties into some sort of auto dimming in certain light conditions to improve battery. Similar to most new phones.

    Yeah actually it does. We don't know your level of expertise, so we don't know whether you're confused about the specs that are advertised or not.

    Well would it really matter if it was a Dell laptop with 2 mics or a HP laptop with 2 mics? :/
    And im not confused about the PC specs themselves. Ive already got the laptop anyway. Its free from AV school. And as i said, the specs are in my sig. :-)

    Dont think my level of expertise matters here either :S
    But i can say that: Its a socket 1156 based dual core i7 with HT. so 2 physical + 2 logical. Its 2.8ghz at stock but its normally under 2ghz.. (goes from 1.4 to 1.8) during normal internet usage, facebook, forums. When i open up a heavy program or a game it will OC to 3.4ghz cause of turbo boost.

    The RAM is 2x 4gb but they put a 32 bit OS on here for some reason. So im stuck with 3GB of RAM.

    The GPU is a Quadro FX 1800m. Which isnt so good since its quadro and its designed for... design and CUDA shit... It has DX10.1 so you CAN play though.
    It has 1GB of GDDR5 memory, and its geforce equivalent is a GT 335M.

    the screen seems to be a 15" LED and runs full HD 1080p. Which looks quite small on such a small monitor :/
