    idk if anyone remembers but i posted a thread a while ago upon receiving my notebook and having severe performance issues.

    after a plethora of calls to their technical support they finally told me to send it it...

    Likewise, sorry to hear about your lappy issues. My m17 has been running like a champ since I recieved it. My only irritation is a vista problem, when I put it to sleep and then use it later, the audio/video in gameplay is choppy. Obvious solution to that is don't put it to sleep.

    To my knowledge, that's a Vista issue, not an M17 issue.
