Nothing too bad to report about mine so far. Few minor grumpinesses re: touchpad drivers, but since I generally disable it and use my Logitech MX500, it's not so much of an issue. Other that that, a solid machine. Don't think you'll go...

Maybe it's just because I had that thread locked. Could've sworn I had that issue w/ another unrelated thread that was open recently, tho'. *shrugs* Dunno.

Sager Communication Update Just received an email from Mr. Ling at Sager regarding my 8790's RMA. Uh... a little LATE, perhaps? I wrote a stern letter regarding my thoughts on the system that Sager must be using if it's taking 3+ months...
