    The Alienhead (power button) frequently changes color and I can't figure out why. It seems to be random for the most part. The computer is always plugged in, so it really doesn't make sense.

    Does it change to your "on battery" colour? If so, you could be seeing what I see occasionally. Even though the computer is fully charged, the alien head is slowly fading between "on AC" and "on battery" colours like it's charging.

    I'm not too worried about the laptop doing this, although it is a little distracting.

    Correct. I guess I won't worry about it then.
