    Hi, I recently purchased an F8Sn-C1 and was wondering if anyone else's screen is warped? I'm not sure if it came like this but my display i feel is slowly almost bending slightly because of the tension caused when opening the laptop. Are the two smaller circular rubber pieces at the top of the laptop when opened suppose to be touching the keyboard area when closing? When I close my laptop the right side is noticeably higher then the left side.

    Thanks.

    Looks like a manufacturing defect, get it exchanged if possible, otherwise send it for warranty repairs.

    Yes, those rubber pads usually touch the palmrest when screen is closed.

    Loving my F8Sn-D1.

    Score is slightly lower for ram and processor, but overall a speedy little computer. What an upgrade from a Toshiba Satellite a100-va1 hehe

    Overclocked to 515/470 , and with the processor at 3.08 with the memory running at 367 mhz, its probably improving the aero benchmark.

    I'll post some 3DMark Scores with my setup.

    I guess you could simply get a generic slimline bluray drive. Hopefully there are no DRM issues with this option. (I have never seen, let alone use, a Bluray drive :D)
