    I received it after about 20 days after ordering, and I'm really impressed. The keyboard feels great, the battery doesn't wobble and there's no graininess or dead pixels. There's a bit of light leakage however, and one thing that I am disappointed about is that the little legs on the bottom corners of the laptop and uneven. When I type, it wobbles around diagonally. Right not I hbave to slip a piece of paper under one leg, but I'm wondering if I should just stick with it or return it and hope to get a better replacement?

    That is just stupid... Because it "wobbles" according to you? Don't return it just because of that! ENOUGH, NOW QUIT POSTING!

    A little off topic, but have you tried out that office home + student software yet? I am getting that with mine.
