Haven't tried the 5-in-1 on this machine (which is an Aspire 5570ANWXCi,
dunno what exactly the diff is with the Z). As for the graphics card,
you might want to check out the latest Xorg server, as that has lots of
intel driver goodness (including really nifty XRandR 1.2, allowing
on-the-fly dual head without restarting X!)

Hmm... mine isn't that heavy. Sure, there are lighter laptops -- but my
Fujitsu's heavier than it. As for the heat, I haven't experienced that.

Then again, maybe it's really because it's a different notebook?
