My screen lock was not loose at all. But then I did not have another unit to compare to. My docking port did not seem to a refurb, though. It looked brand new out of the box.
did you get cheetahdeals extended service plan (offered through seneca)? I thought I saw a piece of paper in the video with the warranty info. If so, did you get 1 year or 2? Do you recommend or think it is worth it. Thanks and great videos!
I did not get an extended warranty. The paper you saw was just a standard form with info in the event I did pick up the warranty extension. I can't tell you what to do, but personally I do not think extended 3rd party warranties are ever worth it. Good luck!
Yes, I tried Windows 8. It ran very well. Had some problems with shut-down, but other than that no issues. Currently I am running Ubuntu 11.10. Loving it as well.
Wish I woulda seen this a week ago lol. I just bought a new one for $500. Should be here tomorrow or the next day. So are you going to make a follow up vid to show the software and everything it can do?
Just came in the mail...looks amazing.
Quick question...how loose is your screen lock near the docking port? mine seems kinda loose, but I might be paranoid.

Tigerdirect is offering a refurbish one too. But its a $100 more. Cheatadeals rocks.

Its sad when the unpacking becomes an IQ test. guess its a trade off for protective packaging.

I got this on cheetah also. You gotta put windows 8 on it. It truly performs well.

You can always return that one and pick up a refurb from CheetahDeals. ;-) Good luck!
I will be posting a follow-up video in the next few days - running Ubuntu Oneiric. So far so good.
