    I got this 1537 mid April in New Zealand, and I don't really like it, compared to my old Acer Travel Mate 3201 I got few years ago.


    1) Media Panel, light flashing etc. -- luckily, I solved this problem by upgrading the flash memory or something. The patch file is an ISO file about 2mb.

    2) Poor sound quality, even after I removed the IDT audio driver. -- Im thinking to replace the speaker myself, but where can I order the parts?

    3) Left palmrest heat. -- It is not acceptable after 1 hour, and I did not play any games, just surfing internet or Word processing.

    4) Wifi signal weak/unstable. -- compared to my other laptop, it is just not stable and often gets offline when there is a fast downloading. (says limited connection). Some people say it is the Access Point that does not support XXXX, which is not compatible with the Intel 5100 wifi card. I forgot the name.
