I see two main problems with the 5300 series:

1.  Manufacturing defects:  bad (crash prone) motherboards, cracked
cases, loose power connectors, etc.

2.  Poor video out:  slow performance, poor output quality.

The first can be fixed.  The slow performance on the video is a design
problem, but I'm hoping that the poor quality of the output can be fixed.
