    Anyone who has tell me the build quality found on newegg for $530 which seems awesome.
    Is the build quality gonna last about 3-4years
    Is the battery life really 4.5 on wifi with dimmed screen on power saver
    And im guessing i wouldnt see a diff from 2gb vs 3gb in 32bit for basic normal usage. Anyone know places to get a 9 cell battery and know how to do a clean install of the os?

    I could asnwer regarding 4520s and 4320s regarding build quality that I had a chance to test briefly in store - 4520s was flexing and could only be good as desktop machine while 4320s had less flex and felt sturdier.
    Still I disliked their keyboard, too shallow, short travel and tiny keys.
    Sorry for being slightly off topic but I thought you might want to hear about 15" and 13" models in case no one has anything to say about 14".
