I've been using this laptop for almost 1 month now and didn't notice any unwanted events up to date. I use my laptop for daily web surfing and most of the time gaming Although the laptop graphic is only ranked the 3rd class mobile GPU, but the performance is good for mid range users. The quality of the speaker is not as good as Acer or Compaq's Altec Lansing speaker where you won't be hearing much bass out of it. The battery life from full to empty for normal use (not gaming) like msn and web browsing will last for 2 hours 30 minutes (+-) with the brightness level set to 2nd lowest. The webcam is good! Its only 1.3MP but perform as good as some 2.0MP webcam. I feel that the spec of this laptop is reasonable good and when you do non hardcore gaming, the only thing that bottleneck the performance is the hard disk. 5400rpm is just kinda slow for loading. Maybe because i even felt that my dekstop SATA 7200rpm hard disk load not fast enough? Anyway, for people who are looking for a decent good performance laptop with a good price tag then just consider Asus F5SL. Design is not those cheap skate type too but not gaming design =.=

Note: I've never experience overheating problem even before i buy the CM Notepal Infinite laptop cooler. The cooler is just to make the heat on the left side of the laptop less. And i'm running 24hour without the presence of battery, only power from the plug to make sure less heat and longer life of battery.
