Here are the problems I have with the 17" (some more minor than others).
1. When screen is closed, left side of the lid has a greater gap than the right side by about 1-2mm. Not a serious problem.
2. I have one dead pixel in the middle, about an inch and a half from the top. Not like I didn't expect it, I can live with it.
3. Right command key is slightly tilted (leveled towards the right).
Kind of annoying, I wonder if this is a feature and not a defect?
4. Sizzling noise which some report not present.
5. CD insertion to superdrive is LOUD. Is this normal?
