    Before I pull the trigger and buy a HDX16-1040US (P8400 2.26GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Ultra Brightview) from Newegg (non-returnable), I want to know if there are any problems that plague the HDX 16 series? The only thing I've heard of is that the numpad has a lot of flex, how true is this? Also, what is the difference between a BrightView and Ultra BrightView screen? Thanks!

    Edit: I just found a HDX16-1160US (P8600 2.4GHz, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD, BrightView) un-opened on eBay for $885 after shipping. Does this sound suspicious to anyone? The seller only has 47 feedback (100% positive) is that bad?

    The only problem ive heard of, is apparently dust in the Infinity Display. I dont know how accurate this is though.

    A great lappy overall, i recommend it to you. ;)


    Yeah, the ebay price is a little low... i would be suspicious.
