    hello there.. I just got this notebook

    the quality of the build is great
    but I am having some issues

    I have the volume turn all the way up and it doesnt sound that loud
    it feels like you dont get the sound level you want it to have

    the sound that plays at the boot up part sound louder (changed the speaker level to 7 in the bios)

    but in windows is sounds crippled

    also the wireless is an issue..
    it says it is disabled in the hardware.. I have to manually turn it on using the intel software every time I start the computer
    which is becoming annoying

    I read the manual and look in the bios and nothing..
    there is no button on the notebook to enable or disable the wireless
    neither the bios

    any ideas?

    I upgraded the drivers to the latest version (they were a little hard to find, the realtek site is not much helpfull)

    and now this laptop is the best purchase I have made :D
    I plan to do a review by the weekend ;)
