    well af friend of mine has a u205 and theres a little wierd thing that keeps happening. Not sure if its normal or not but -- anyway - whenever he has a media player on, watching movies, or playin music and whatnot, -if- he slightly shakes his laptop, the audio stops for a few seconds then resumes. Its not a big issue but is this normal?

    There is a feature on the U205 to stop the Hard drive when a vibration occurs. You can change the sensitivity or turn it off completely.

    It is designed to provide shock protection to the HD.
