I only experience "vibration" with mine. They say its normal for designs with metal bodies to be so.

Yeah.. Touch the back of it with fingers it "vibrates". Try touching the corner of the metal part with your wrist and shocking.gif SHOCK!!!

Just tested, I don't experience any shock in the corners or back, just vibrations.

With your wrist? I didn't feel a thing with my finger, but wrist will cause a shock (not a major shock, a minor static like shock) on my machine. (Thundermatch actually tried another device since I went back and ask for a 1-1, and the results are the same @_@)

Hmm... Will try. Currently don't have extra extension cables lying around...
It's not too big of a deal, it's not like the SP can be used plugged in, just minor annoyance.

The battery life is about 4 to 6 hours, depending on how you use it. Have not tried playing games on it though.

The first 2 to 3 hours I used it to install all my stuff into it. Left with 50%, some light usage like browsing and Facebook for 2 hours took another 30 to 35% off the battery.

can you play Diablo 3 or GW2 on it smoothly? I think HD4000 can handle it pretty well, since low end Macs are using it hmm.gif

Don't have D3, but Civ5 plays okay. This isn't really my gaming machine. For gaming, still I would go for my desktop smile.gif

CS:GO should be playable, I think even L4D2 plays nicely @ 720p...
IIRC I saw somewhere saying that the GC is about 4-5 times stronger than latest iPad's GC .
