Don't expect too much for battery life on the 5672. I love the computer, but I'm lucky to get 2 hours out of the battery. I just chalk it up to the fact that it's a pretty powerful computer, so I assume it's power hungry. Luckily,...

Well, the noise I'm referring to doesn't sound like a hard drive noise to me. It really is a "clunking" noise... Like a plastic piece knocking for just a moment. Any other ideas?

Greetings all... Has anyone else had this strange clunking noise? It's completely random...sometimes I'll just open a web page or something, and something clunks inside the laptop. (Yes, I know that's a very technical term...clunk) ...

I bought my Acer laptop about 6 months ago to replace my Dell desktop. I've been very pleased with both the performance and the quality. Only issue I can think of is the battery life...just under 2 hours, but it's a pretty powerful...

Had the exact same thing happen. Bought my 5672 at CompUSA... it had a dead pixel. They switched it out no problem. (Actually, they were out of 5672s, so they gave me a refurbished one and a $100 discount.) That was about 6 months...

I was using mine the other day... ePower Management had the Processor set to low... and the screen on about 70%... didn't quite get 2 hours out of it. Maybe 1 hour 40? I'm a bit disappointed in the battery life, but that's my only...
