Don't think so. Anyway, wanna share a super scary story involving my 7-month old 4820TG. I was downloading some files using my sister's wifi which is 1 house away from my house. In order to get the signal, I have to put my laptop on an ironing board placed right in front of the window in my room. Then, I have to open the lid about 175 degree and put the laptop in standing mode with its lcd leaning on the window. I hope you get to imagine this. lol

Then, I plugged in the charger to the laptop and when I tried to plug the other end to the wall socket, the cable went a bit short so I have to pull it a little to make it connect. That's stupid, yes. So, the laptop tipped over and fell down to the floor. I was shocked. I could hear my own heartbeat pumping heavily. I just simply stare at my lappy for a good few seconds before deciding to check the damage.

Luckily, the screen is fine, and so is the harddrive. In short, everything is alright. Still functioning and downloading like nothing happened. Except at both hinge of the lcd panel, the brushed metal surface cover of the lid is bent. But it's more obvious at the hinge on the right. That's basically it. It's just cosmetic.. so far. Hope so.

And yes, beside this story, I never faced any kind of problem with this laptop. Really proud to have this one as my laptop. Oh yes, maybe I'm a little disappointed to know that ATi 5470 and i5 is not a good friend with hackintosh. Been wasting 2 weeks of my life to get Snow Leopard running without boot cd but to no avail. So am now back to square 1, Windows 7. Unless there's kext for handling ATi and i5.
