I feel it's the latter. I dropped $1300 or whatever on this laptop as well and received a Toshiba SSD and LG screen. They're both great. There's always things to complain about and there's always something better out there but when it comes down to it, the products work extremely well and there's no real discernible difference that should warrant returning the product.
Got a tip for us?

I thought Toshiba was much improved this year, and I've never seen a bad 11" MacBook Air screen.
Hahapremed actually
glad the calibration improved things for you.
if you're pre-med, i'd get back to studying and not spend so much time on these forums and getting riled up about samsung vs lg ;-)
I'm loving the passive aggresiveness. I actually didn't know they charged a restocking fee. I only bought it from the campus store because of the good discount
Whatever it is, it ain't passive.
I have the LG screen and I'm very happy.
The default calibration wasn't that good, but after some tweaking it's pretty decent.
THe Samsung vs LG is a hype, and even tho the samsung looks better out of the box, several reviewers like anandtech claims the LG screen is superior in some cases.

As for last year, the Samsung SSD was quite a bit better, but I don't think that is the case on the 2012, anyways, the toshiba is still plenty fast.

If I were you, I would just enjoy my new gear. I was like you before, but after some time, it gets tiring to be OC every minute of everyday. You have to learn how to control it. Imagine, after spending thousands of $ on a new MBA you still feel discontent?
