No, me personally I've owned this laptop for about a year now, and haven't had any problems. If you do, you can send it back to Asus and they have amazing customer service imo.

mine is definetely flaky as well - monitor goes to sleep at random times and hard to wake back up...also what's with the DVD player?

yes, i had this problem. i noticed that the playback looked fine on the camera, but when i transferred to my computer, it was jerky. turns out the problem was the kind of application I was using to view it. I found the free GOM player, and this solved the problem nicely.

How is the playback of the choppy file from cam to tv via HDMI? If that's choppy too, I'd suspect it was a recording issue. Does your memory card have a high enough transfer speed to handle the bitrate of that file? I film in the bluray format , and have no issues, however I do use a 600x card.

I have this problem too. I don't notice the video freeze, but the audio seems to drop out for less than a second every 3-5 minutes. I didn't notice this when it was hooked up to my receiver via s-video and coax digital for audio. Only happened when I connected it via HDMI to same receiver.

I had a similar situation. No matter what I tried, I never received any quality sound, just the squeals and shrieks also agree with other comment- waste of money and a disappointed prnoduct- and usually, memorex is considered a plus but not in this case- Sorry

Looks like all the earlier answers have the majority of the possibilities covered.The on board sound output went out on mine the first month I was using it for live streaming.After much troubleshooting by myself and Lenovo techs, they came to my place and changed out the motherboard. They were very helpful and prompt. If all else fails contact their tech. support.

I have. Less than 1 week old. Using HDMI cable. Played "Polar Express" (Full Screen Version) and player "stutters" every 5 minutes or so. Tried two other "wide-screen" discs and the "stuttering" did not happen. Playing to a new Magnavox 47" LCD. Home burned vacation DVD's upconverted and played just great! Very Good for audio CD's also!

WE had no trouble with the video part but I like the other answer it sounds like what my laptop did automatically. Are you plugged in all the way? I don't remember if the directions came with a trouble shoot section. We had to do the sound check twice before the sound worked. does Kinobo have their own web site? Good luck

Hi Faith. it is very difficult to upgrade a laptop video as most all of them are part of the motherboard they also do not have a pci slot. in a rare circumstances its a different type of card because of room and heat requirements. also you have to disassemble the entire laptop to see if it can even be upgraded. Sorry I could not help you more. Maxing out the Ram is about the only help the graphics performance

I've got sound and picture simultaneously. Might be an issue with the unit you received. Good luck

I've had mine about a month and have had no such issue. I would try a different video cable and power cord, then call Asus support.

Try using a different HDMI cable, if that doesn't work try a factory reset. Test to see if it's the cable or the device by connecting with the included VGA cable - if the audio is still irregular then it's a bad speaker most likely.

go into the sound options on your computer (which you can access in your control panel) then set your sound default as HDMI, might fix your problem.

I don't have that problem. I just have a problem with it not recording sound. The video is great, doesn't have blurry issues, I just can't get audio recording. But other than that, it's a good video.

I can't vouch for Win7 performance, but run Win 8 off of it connected to my TV via HDMI with no issues (movies, music, streaming, etc). Audio also works over HDMI.

Did you try downloading DivX? It is free and needed to play the videos on my PC. It sounded like the chipmunks with no video.
