Windows has been popping up saying that my hard drive is near failure. Being that this is a new laptop, I just wanted to have someone more knowledgeable than me check what the S.M.A.R.T. reports are showing. I really don't want to do an RMA if it is not necessary. This log is from the Gsmartcontrol software. Thanks so much for your help!
The formatting is a bit weird below. I have a correctly formatted copy of the log here: http://pastebin.ca/2642816

All data on the hard disk, including files, documents, pictures, programs, and settings might be lost if your hard disk fails. To determine if the hard disk needs to be repaired or replaced, contact the manufacturer of your computer. If you can't back up (for example, you have no CDs or other backup media), you should shut down your computer and restart when you have backup media available. In the meantime, do not save any critical files to this disk.
