    It has the NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M graphics chip. Is that one of the GPUs with bad soldering?

    Cheers!

    If they're in your price range, take a look at the T500 and W500(if you're needing this for pro graphics apps). The ATI HD3650/V5700 are about as powerful as the FX 570M, and are significantly more reliable.
