    Hey Guys.

    I had these issues before i did a clean install so its not that.

    1. Runs Very hot.. was surprised just how hot it gets.
    2. HDD makes a grinding noise when it spends up, and during use every 30 secs it seems to make a funny noise?
    3. Battery seems to be a bit loose, doesnt effect use but its a bit strange
    4. crashed the odd time when recovering from sleep mode
    5. Wifi is a bit flakey, seems to not connect all the time, then gets stuck and requires a reboot?
    6. Seems overly heavy and the dvd draw is hard to close.

    Generally not that happy with the unit, thinking i would rather an SR at this point, anyone have any thoughts on this, is it a better unit build wise.. i knows its a smaller screen and on paper lighter..

    Any input would be appreciated, i dont think i can return the CS so would have to sell it, ive had it all of 2 weeks, of which its only been used for 1..

    thanks
