    Just picked up an RF510 for my wife on Monday if that will offer you any help

    Well built, looks even better that I thought when it was unboxed.

    With stats and price like this whats not to like? 2 -3.0 USB ports, Blu ray, 3.0 BT, NV 330m, 17" screen, and i7-720QM all under $1000. The ONLY thing that I am concerned about is the 1600x900 res.

    **EDIT: Can anybody tell me how much ram can be installed and how easy is it to upgrade CPU? I checked the owners manual and it does not say.
