I've had mine for a few weeks and love it. I was worried about the pixels issue because everyone seems to make a big deal about it but didn't have any on mine. My only issues would be with the left side of the keyboard creaking a bit...

Many thanks for all the advice on computer; I'm a happy owner of a 5680 which I've got tuned and loaded for six months in the Persian Gulf. I leave in less than two weeks and wanted to know if anyone knew of solid, tight-sealing cases,...

I got an e-mail confirming that my 5680 had shipped today so i'm anxious to read your review and get mine. What have you done to tweak the system since you got your unit?
