    A friend of mine told me the W3j has its CPU on a socket. Is this true? If so, how easy would a swap be when the Core 2 comes out?

    every laptop has a cpu socket. every pc in general has a socket or some type. Yes you will be able to fit the the new chip. But it will prob require a bios update and who knows if they will release it. After all they dont want people to modify their laptops. also it will void your warranty so you know.
