my drive seems quit ok, but certain type of dvd or cd can't be read, if it is the case, then i just read the dvd on my friends desktop or my own desktop at home.
not a big prob, but cen be if in emergency and the disk just won't read. really sux that way..... but this is experienced by most laptops...

Ask them to change the brand for all the users. If others are having problems, might as well ask all of us to go in and change the drives. It shows good customer support!

Again just to remind it is not suppose to be like that especially with the newest batch of products. Thanks J Jay for giving them feedback. It is good to have forgiving customers, but that doesn't necessarily means that they shouldn't fix an obvious semi-defective part on their products.
There are lots of other laptop that doesn't have the problem. So overall quality will not be so good if that's the case. This could be the main factor or deciding factor of drawbacks and it could affect their market share as well which is if not important for us, but at least it is for them. I imagine this might have made a few negative reviews in any laptop mags..

hopefully benq laptop can't even read it's own driver disc, then we definitely can complain and ask them to change lolz!
Anyway, how much is the spare battery cost? and is there compatible 9 cell or higher capacity battery out there for s41?
