I just received my fully loaded 5720 
in the mail yesterday, and to say the least I am disappointed 
...considering it cost me $3200, i gotta get these gripes off my chest 
. Im a gamer, not a computer whiz, so if you guys could help me out in any way that would be great. First of all, the screen is not NEAR the quality of my Sony PCG-K33 15.4" WXGA (which is 2 years old). It has this kind of glitter effect thats almost to the point of looking blurry. When i compare them side by side it is like night and day, the Sager looks terrible compared to the Sony. It isnt that bad with darker colors on the screen, but with lighter ones it really shimmers. Is this normal? Is there something i could do to fix it? My next complaint is the soundcard, it is garbage. That hissing drives me crazy, it makes my $200 sennheiser headphones sound like crap...I know everyone has probably heard all of the complaints about it on the forums already, but i had to add my 2 cents on that subject. Im probably gonna get an Audigy 2 ZS notebook card to clear up this problem, unless someone has a solution for it 
. Next, the touhpad is extremely glitchy and not very accurate. This is not really an issue with me though because i plan to disable it once i figure out how. Any pointers? The 7800 GTX Go is supposed to be the best GPU in the laptop market, but it gave me some trouble while playing FEAR last night. By no means am i an expert at configuring graphics cards, so I left it on the application controlled setting. In the FEAR game setup I configured everything to max except for anti-aliasing and anistropic filtering. For the most part it perfomed well, except for the occational framedrop and the 4 times it completely locked up my computer over a 2 hour period. I have read that people with lesser machines are getting better results than I. What can I do to fix this? Do i need to upgrade my Nvidia drivers? Any advice on the best configuration for the 7800 GTX? If anyone can help me out with these issues i would greatly appreciate it. Now on to the stuff i like about the machine. The aesthetics and build quality are very good, and the keyboard is freakin nice...it is a sweet lookin rig. I am surprised at how thin and light it is considering all that is packed inside. For those of you wondering about the specs I have, everything is maxed out: 2.26 GHz, 2GB RAM, 100GB 7200, etc. No heat issues as of yet, and the fans are extremely quiet compared to my Sony. I hope I can get some of these issues resolved because Im gonna have a hard time justifying keeping a $3200 machine that I have so many gripes with
