HP Compaq Business Notebook nx5000

...due to go back to HP soon. The sound from the speakers at the front of the laptop is very tinny, it also changes if I am typing due my hands applying pressure to the casing above the speakers. It's more a problem with the position of the speakers at the front of the keyboard than the quality of the speaker, although I do think the speakers are not that good. I changed over to headphones after a while, as the sound was annoying me and I found that ...
...will play Windows media files, DVD and handles AutoCAD drawings well. In short, it can display all the standard and non-standard applications on my laptop with no real problems. On the game front I have no idea how this laptop performs, (this is a business computer after all).

Thankfully It was still in its warranty period, so i sent it to the repair centre who repaired this fault. Now in the last six months the backlight has been working intermittentaly which is a real pain! As a temporary solution I am using an external monitor, I am ...
...how much this will cost. Besides from the power problems at the beginning and the screen problems I am experiencing now the laptop has never let me down. I've been told the screen problems are a common fault with most laptops. I suppose its wear and tear?, a light bulb only lasts for so long. ...
