My i9300 looks ok. I've the default screen but the video card is a 256mb card. No problem playing games like HL2, CS or DS2.

What do u mean by picture quality not very good?

go to ur synaptics icons on ur taskbar or u can go to mouse options at ur control panel to adjust it. I adjust my touchpad's top left n bottom left to go back one page or forward one page. Its kinda useful for me.

batteries at rated at 500 charge cycles. But it is impossible for each battery to "die" exactly at 500 cycles. Some may fail earlier and some later. As more charge cycles are being used, the battey's ability to retain charge will be reduced

Hope that answers ur questions
