    Issues which may arise but do not have to (for instance I only experience on of the following):


    - wobble
    - morse code/ tiny beeping
    - 1mm gaps between the top and the plastic covering the ports
    - left palmrest area gets significantly hot (this is what I have but only under heavy load)

    For details see the owners lounge.

    My config is with the i7 and 2 x 320GB
