Well i thought since I love my 21m i'd give this some balance!
The clicking hard-drive is an old problem and yes does have a patch which is widely available, although its mostly one of those problems you hear on the interent as thats what people come here to do , qest problems and look for solutions.

My 21m is amazing! screen prints can be fixed by cleaning it! (shock horror), and the on board software is fine on mine, windows is just updated to service pack 3 and the battery still lets me be wherever i want for a good 3-4 hours before wanring me to plug in!

Finally, i would tell anyone to get one if they can especially if its thru the cheap since its been out qwuite a while, although u may have to pay a little more for extra's for the likes of a docking station now, its an amazing piece of kit all-round!

My battery stopped working after about a year and the paint came of the volume keys but not the keyboard. I had to replace a hdd after 2 years but cant really complain as my laptop is a high use item in my house and it is still serving me well. Ive been told that if you use it mostly on mains power you should remove the battery anyway as they will burn out by overcharging.
