Don't expect something good from laptop speaker and onboard sound. You need some sort of sound enhancement program like THX or sound equalizer to improve the sound quality.

I'm using external Soundblaster x-fi sound card. The sound produce much better than onboard.

So far, Soundblaster offers 7.1 soundcard for desktop. No 7.1 external for notebook.

Swapped the HDD to a 512GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD. Scorching speed from this one!

Fantastic sales service from the Illegear team. They've helped installed the Samsung SSD into the RS-15, installed Windows 7 Pro on it and elaborated on the calibration profile done and how to activate it.

I absolutely love my RS-15, solid built and currently installing Crysis 3 and 3DMark11/13 on it to bench. From AJA speed test, 515-520MB/s on the SSD, I'm plenty happy!
