    So i ran down to Frys today and picked up this bad boy for $799. Lots of bloatware and a really slow hard drive....Well had a Corsair 120gig force I put in tonight which should hold me over till i can get a OCZ Vertex 3 VTX3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
    Sequential Access - Read: up to 550 MB/s
    Sequential Access - Write: up to 500 MB/s :D :D :D

    The laptop is a fingerprint magnet! But has a ton of potential! Ive also put in a Intel Ultimate N 633ANHMW IEEE 802.11n (draft) Wi-Fi Adapter - Mini PCI Express - 450Mbps much better than stock.

    Ok more to come working on a full review but this laptop has a lot of potential for the money. O and it runs really cool and quiet.
