    I just bought it, I replaced my acer that I have in my signature because it heats up to much :) so far I am very pleased with this laptop, only one question though, on the monitor, above the HP insignia on the bottom, there is a slight amount of flex, just enough (barely) to fit the tip of my fingernail inbetween the black plastic and the metal backing in the monitor, is this normal? You can also notice some flex when lightly tapping on the HP insignia

    Here are some pictures that I took, sorry about the so-so quality :p
