    Hey, I just checked this laptop out again (as i do ever time i get on my pc) and saw you get a Free 8gb ExpressCard SSD until June 15th, and if you dont know what that is its basicly a Flashdrive but in ExpressCard Form, I also read you can use it for readyboost!! so if you get the 4gb ram like im going to its 12GB of ram WOO! good thing i didnt order it yet ;p

    That's not how ReadyBoost works.

    ReadyBoost is for systems with low amounts of RAM. 4G is beyond sufficient.

    Has anyone boughten and recieved their product from that website? It seems fishy to me...

    Edit: Nevermind I am sorry, seems the Gentech workers roam these forums and have a really good resellerrating score.
