    did you have any problems with the laptop when you first got it?

    i figured it would be a good idea to do a survey and see what would be the ratio between defective laptops vs non defective ones.

    alright, be honest guys!

    no hardware problems. just BSOD when I installed vista updates. A clean install fixed all that though

    I voted yes.

    My minor problem (and I still have this until now) is the static/interference noise on the headphone jack. They say it's pretty common in laptops, so I ignored it.

    is it normal for the webcam to not display the picture correctly? When viewing anything through the webcam it will have a few horizontal lines of sparse pixels that are not the right color. (Green, Red, etc)
