is it me or is this model from amazon have crappy speakers?.. the volume is audible but far from being good. theres also notable popping noises when the volume gets too loud...

the other problem is minor but defintely annoying..
it could possibly be the throttlestop problem but i get maybe a 1-2 second freeze during simple tasks once in a while..

could a windows reinstall solve these few problems.. thats all i have gotten to so far in the few hours i played with the laptop..

anyways, kudos to amazon.. ordered 4pm yesterday, delivered today at 12pm..

thanks for the help..
