Thats a damn nice looking laptop, think id change to RAID10 if it can do it, but other than that very nice.

1181871 2011-02-28 22:20:00 I would've thought that with formatting the hard drive, it would be removed? Or can rootkits infect the recovery partition as well?

Depends how the recovery program formats the drive. Probably it won't remove the boot sector and maybe something could lurk in there.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if someone made something that could hide in a recovery partition either...

Yeah, I know!!, I dont know why manufacturers do that!, the pitch must be tiny, however, he has a couple of 16x10 external monitors and will only use the laptop screen seldom . . . may have to reduce res and use aspect to full the screen!

If weight is a big factor check out the Toshiba R700, very hard to find a decent 13 inch laptop which still has a decent processor and a dvd drive and is dockable. For the price dif you could chuck in an SSD drive too.
