I got my 5300c before they hit the standard retail market over a year ago, and have not had one single problem with it (in fact, my 9500 desktop has given me far more problems until I got a massive amount of RAM and dropped Ram Dbler). You do need to get 7.5.3 rev 2 as well as the speed doubler package to be really happy, but then you'll love this machine.
