    So I broke down and decided I wanted to upgrade my CF19 MK3 U9300 and get the i5-2520

    Been watching on eBay for some time and keep getting out bid on used ones around the $1800-2000 range

    Then I find what didn't seem right it had everything I wanted but it list 12GB of RAM, that cant be right....can it?

    Sure enough this thing arrives with 12GB of installed showing 11.9 usable, plus it came with 500GB HDD

    Model # CF-19AHUAV1M new in box shipped for under $2100 while its the most Ive ever spent on a computer this thing rocks.

    Good deal!

    I could have gotten you a dual touch unit for $300 more ;) But it would have only had 4GB RAM and 320GB HDD!
