    I am considering buying a UL50Vt (or UL80Vt) in the near future and have three questions regarding its long-term usability:

    1. Some people are saying the machine's switchable graphics may become unusable due to lack of support from Asus. Is this a reasonable assumption?

    2. Will the SU7300 quickly feel sluggish in day-to-day tasks? (including light audio & image manipulation)

    3. Will it run StarCraft 2 smoothly at not-lowest settings?

    EDIT: Oh, and is it upgradeable beyond 4 GB of RAM?

    Thank you.

    Anyone have any insight on #1? That's the one I'm most interested in.
