    Title pretty much says it all, I was just wondering if I was able to upgrade the screen on my BB version of this laptop to the Full HD screen? I don't really mind the lower reso screen, I have gotten used to it. I saw a screen in the e-store and was thinking about changing my screen if possible to the higher reso one. I guess I'm just curious if I would be able to do that in the future or not. I already upgraded the cpu to a T9900, and am looking for something else to change out.

    Also can the ram be upgraded to something faster i.e 1066?

    Thanks

    Full HD? Isn't it already in 720p at 1366X768?

    full HD is 1920 x 1080

    I know couple resellers that can change the screen, but it will void your warranty.

    I'm not concerned about voiding the warranty since I've already done that by changing my cpu, twice. Is the screen that they change it too the asus G51 1080p screen? What will this cost? Where are these retailers?

    Thanks in advance!
