    Hello,

    Well after looking at laptops at best buy, I was still stuck with asus, it was the only laptop offering a 9800 video card with good price, the other one was the gateway fx, but no more 17 inch laptops for me.

    I told the geek squad guy about the cracking and popping issue, I just told him to plug in some headphones... He did and he then proceeded to load some live distro of linux to see if it was a driver problem (that didn't occur to me). However the problem was still there so I got an exchange.

    Im happy to say that this new one looks good, no cracking and popping issue, and I noticed that theres 0 keyboard flex on this one. The other one had massive flex around the keypad area but that didn't bother me too much...

    Anyways I hope I don't find anymore problems with this one...

    Cheers

    It didn't occur to me either, and it should have. :)

    It's good you got a replacement.
