    Hardly see any discussion about this model other than some people trying to downgrade to XP... Where are all the owners at? I snagged a refurb with an i3-350 and 4gb ram for $470 with tax. Have that and an OCZ Agility 60GB coming tomorrow. Pretty excited! Sick of this netbook.

    Does anyone know if you can run 8GB on this laptop? Dell only sells up to 6.

    Got it today. Initial impression was "nice!" followed by "!" when my SSD arrived and I flipped the laptop over to find out the hard drive is not "user replaceable". Genius Dell put the hard drive on the underside of the motherboard. Had to take everything apart to install the drive. Took about an hour start to finish, what a pain... Overall I'm very happy with it. Can't comment on battery life yet though. Looking at 3 hours maybe?
