    tried out the headphones last night, and didn't hear anything unusual (no idea what the issue would sound like though?)

    i used the headphone jack last night to connect the laptop to my receiver - and didn't hear any high pitched sound coming from the speakers - will try again tonight with proper headphones...

    haven't noticed any "trial" software at all on the laptop - although i'm in australia, so not sure if that makes any difference to the crap that may be loaded onto the laptop.

    There is barely any trials. Only thing is Dell installed registries, so system wipe is highly recommended. No high pitches/dead pixels, and the included Creative Headphones are amazing.

    build quality is very good. not rolls royce, but still very good - and i like the lid without latches too. has a very nice feel to it.
