Known issues for M6N:
15.1 SXGA+ LCD vertical gradient issue (15.4 WSXGA not affected!); the lower part of the screen will be noticably lighter and the top noticably darker than normal notebook LCD's. Since I have this model and my screen is fine I must conclude that this issue is an occassional defect in the LCD part. Or, since Asus allegedly used/uses four LCD models for this unit perhaps the behavior occurs on all of one LCD model, most likely the earliest used one. Asus' support of this issue is sketchy :/
Poweroff when moved; some units will lose power when moved due to slight battery position shift. Pretty sure this can possibly happen to all the M6N's since they all use the same chassis, in any case it did occur on my 15.1 model. The fix is easy and supported by Asus however- they send you a piece of mylar with install instructions to make the battery more secure, and the fix can also be accomplished with small pieces of cardstock or similar material. I've yet to hear of anyone installing the fix and continuing to have the issue.
And on another note, thx so much for this thread! I found out about most these models when I was shopping but you hit some I missed and it's interesting. Also, you prolly already know about this, but one of these models that was previously sold as a Voodoo envy model did have some serious probs apparently- can't recall exactly what the deal was or what model anymore but when I was looking into it Voodoo had dropped the item, which suggests to me the issue(s) were not resolved.
