ECS is crap, they used to make laptops called GQ (stands for great quality...my ass). The GQ had nothing but problems. The frame starts cracking on it own from normal use, the fan stops working in a few months. The D/C jack de-soldiers itself. The mobo goes defective with in 2-3 years.
And I know about this. I work at Fry's (#1 seller of ecs crap) in service dept, and deal with these things every day.
So I do bet there is gonna be no difference with this new laptop.
we burned that mobo. then hit it with a hammer.
