Questions about the new Compal JFL92

Ok, please bear with me if these questions are a bit basic, I'm kinda new to compals

1 - How easy is it to user upgrade the memory, HDD, processor in this laptop?

2 - Will the panasonic uj-220 laptop blu-ray drive work in it?

3 - How does build quality compare to (say) Dell, Thinkpads, HP?

4 - Can anyone recommend a good place to buy as 'barebones' a JFL92 as possible? i.e one without a hard drive or memory, and preferably without a processor?

Any/all help is greatly appreciated.

 

Powernotebooks seem not only to have good products and prices but also great warranty and support. Paladin (who is also member of this forum ) works for this company so you can have "free" technical support for the life of your product

1) The memory and hard disk are super easy to get to (I've done both on my IFL-90, and I don't believe there's any difference in this layout with the IFL-92). Dunno about the processor.

2) No clue.

3) Build quality is quite nice, seems very sturdy, but has a little more flex in it than my ThinkPad G40 (which is a tank).

4) I've seen a few posts on this forum from people who've bought barebones, but I'm too lazy to search for ya

 

read in some places about keyboard flexing... is this something to consider as quite serious? i mean if you game on it, would it make it worse? or is it on some but not on others?

 

thanks guys, very helpful
