1) Bought this lappy two weeks ago.
2) a) Battery life is great! Around 5 hours used to watch movie.
b) Only problem is...my audio (both speakers and headphone) has some noise while listening to music and watch movies. Tried to re-install the driver but problem still persist. The situation gets worse when the Dolby Home Theater is turned on. Need to bring back to Highpoint for a check...

But seriously, I like this new toy very much!
