    I personally think that model has great specs, but an extremely underpowered cpu. I would spend the extra $250 for the Q7272. That's just my 2 cents.

    Yeah, I have the 7272, the i7's kick - its worth the extra dough.
    You can always look into getting it on amazon.com too.
    Also if you want 0% financing, Newegg, Amazon, and Best buy all have 12-24 months if you apply for their credit cards.
    Personally I got mine through amazon and 24 months, with free 2day shipping. Cant beat that.

    Cant afford that extra dough for the 7272. I think I'll survive on the i5. Now just have to make my final decision.

    Ya, i5 is fine. You could always upgrade to an i7 on your own at a later date.

    There is a possibility to upgrade your motherboard in laptops?

    Nope. You only upgrade the CPU, using the same motherboard.

    The i5 and i7 Qosmios use the same motherboard chipset, and the same BIOS; so I can't see why its not possible. There's already numerous examples of upgrading an i7 to an unofficially supported higher i7; so I'm thinking a supported i5 to another supported i7 is possible.
