I believe mine had integrated sound, so that might make a difference.

Hi, good memory. I kept the bloatware on the new 630m laptop. The
one in which I was talking about MP3's is my E510 desktop. I'll see
what's going on the next time it happens. I sometimes don't just
multi-task, I multi-multi-multi-task. I'm OK with any choppiness
though, I'm just glad to be part of the 21st century able to enjoy all
this stuff. Totally mind-boggling, and we haven't seen nothin' yet.

I really love the 630m. I was in a meeting yesterday for over an hour
and a half, I didn't have the display shut off automatically (I have
that set up now though) so it was on the whole time, and I don't think
I dimmed it. I took occasional notes but not that many.

At the end of the meeting, the battery level was still at 75%. This
is exaclty what I wanted, a capable laptop with good keyboard and high
battery life.

I think I'm going to uninstall the bloatware today. I just hope I
don't have problems like the infinite sonic-install loop.
