Yeah, the other day I noticed the same thing. But it didn't seem that weird considering how much power is going through the thing, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Hopefully it isn't a problem, but at least you know you are not...

So, will this machine be able to handle more than the 2.8gigs of RAM that the 9880 is restricted to? Also does anybody know if there are any laptops that can utilize up to 4 gb? Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Although I don't doubt that you can you use both the wireless and bluetooth at the same time, it is stated in the handy user manual for the 9880 not to use both of them as it may cause communication conflicts. But hey I can't even get...
