well id love to know how it turned out, im thinkin about this laptop and need some feedback about it

I must say the heat isn't rly an issue with my 5672 Awmli .. I did purchase an antec notebook cooler though, as for the mouse thing, just play a bit lower

You can change your partitions using Partition magic (I know I did ^^) and then convert it to ntfs

I have no expierenced any trouble with the touchpad though..

Good notebook ^^

this is a great laptop. I played some games with this laptop w/o a hiccup (CS, lineage2...). Plus i got it at a great price ($900 at compusa). The heat issue isnt a big problem at all, just gotta get use to it. I love my 5672!

btw this is how u convert FAT32 to ntfs http://aumha.org/win5/a/ntfscvt.php enjoy!

I love this computer I have had it for about a week got it for 819 at CompUSA (it was the demo) I am running vista on it and it works great no problems with the computer, vista on the other hand has a few bugs lol
the only thing that I do not like with this computer is the web cam it SUCKS.

you can play FEAR but not on full settings, on the other hand I played PREY on it full settings and no problems at all

am happy with my 5672 , i've been ussing it for 5 months now , the only let Downs :

1- Heat...espacialy when Playin BF2 - FEAR ( but thanks to the Cooling Pad everything is ok now )

2- Low Volume , speakers and Headphons. i know it a laptop...but comparing it to Toshiba/Dell the sound is Low !!

overall , am really happy with it

people... I got an issue. My 5672 overheats. I am planning to get a cooling thing like some have suggested, but it's not only when I'm playing [FEAR handled just fine, but Oblivion just fries the GPU after 2 hours] and it didn't get THIS hot before, but now it's just hot all the time even when not gaming. Oh, and another thing, my laptop's all clean, but some keys get "stuck" but they're not really stuck, they are kinda software-stuck :? if that makes any sense... the letter Q types itself from time to time, as well as the Win and the right Ctrl key, but those ones get "stuck" and they aren't, cuz I've checked, and as I said, my keyboard is all clean and I really dunno what's the problem. And a virus is really unlikely, I'm running Avast...

any help here would be "hot"

I opened mine 5672 when i got it and replaced the thermal paste with something a little bit more expensive, the shit they had on there was dried and crusted from the heat. ever since it did help out alot, especially in the front where the arm rests are, i believe the gpu was under there if memory serves me correct, but it still blasts heat out onto my mouse hand. that was really poor design on there part for that put i tossed a thermal cooler under there to raise it up and the fan hardly kicks in now. but with that i have drifted away from gaming alot, and more to just making beats, w/ fruity loops and messing with virtual dj, i know it might make some people cringe, but i only use my 5672 as a high tech jukebox now with itunes and some plugins, i am mainly on my macbook or i have a small mac mini running vista in another room just for the family to surf the net on. and run a few Hoyle games....

Can anyone tell me step by step how to remove the optical drive for this unit so it can be replaced?

congratulations !!!
