As for the pixel, try massaging the area - it sometimes works - or running a program that turns it on and off rapidly. If that doesn't work, you'll have to live with it - Apple won't exchange for 1 pixel unless you are incredibly lucky. @ Dhari

Love it ... 2 issues: - Can't empty the trash (it makes that emptying sound after I ask it to empty the trash, but nothing happens) - A dead pixel - a blue dot appears on the screen. not really noticable, but bothers me Any suggestions?

Why have a Windows partition? To play games, run Windows only applications. You know – the very obvious reasons.

Most torrent programs require that you achieve certain upload to download ratio to get higher speeds. Furthermore, check your torrent program setting and make sure they are correct. This is the first time I've heard about such thing as Macs have problems with torrent download speeds. kwt23:

My friend has an HP running vista. We both tried downloading the same torrent exactly for more than one torrent and it always downloads at high speeds. I don't think it's with the connection. I googled this and found out that indeed it is a problem with macs (that the torrent clients don't reach maximum speeds that the connection can handle). That's disappointing :( Mark, I use transmission too. My friend has an HP running vista.
