I have been using S01 (i5) laptop for last couple of months. Although, I am very happy with the laptop (build quality, finish, display and performance), the keys on the keyboard are making squeaking noise. It is very audible when Spacebar is used. Does this come under warranty? And can Samsung CC replace my keyboard?

Yes. This is the first thing I noticed with my S01 as well , I thought it was just with mine.

Keys are squeaky.

And the touch pad click is loud but not problem for me,I prefer the tactile feel.

Its adaptive brightness. It saves battery and you can turn it off from power options if you want.

I have verified the adaptive brightness option. Turned it off for both on-power and battery mode, still it's happening. It seems as of some loose connection.

What you say?

Just wanted to know its seriousness, if its important which might create an issue in long run, I should consider talking to customer care else not.

r u using the laptop's keyboard while playing games also?
keyboard does makes some noise while typing , does this one makes loud squeaking noise than other laptops keyboards ??

some users had told about the low contrast ratio ? where we can feel the difference in contrast ratio between 2 lappys one having higher than other ?
in normal usage , playing games , watching movies inside room(well lit) , does any problem arises due 2 this low contrast ratio?

Played Prince of Persia The forgotten Sands on this lappy, don't think that its a 2008 game so that won't be a problem, but still i felt game had pretty amazing graphics. played at 900p at Ultra settings with 16xAA.
