    $50 bucks to upgrade to 4gb of ramand 500gb hdd is a pretty good, but I still think they need to lower the price $50-75 on all models.

    My mistake. An airport shop here has a YA on display, so I looked again on Thurs when passing through. You can see small speaker grilles on the underside of the front. They don't play all that loud, but then again I was in a busy airport so YMMV. The sound is tinny at all volumes, but gets pretty bad as you turn the volume up.

    It's OK for a Skype call or an occasional YouTube video, but you'll really want external speakers or headphones for a movie.

    Is there a fat battery option for this? It's like my TZ, but with really good video capability. The Windows Experience Index score is also really, really good. That is, if you're like me and don't do photoshop. I write text mostly, so I don't need raw CPU power.

    Just need a fat battery. Anyone?

    Costs half as much and the YA is a far better cpu. Isn't too shocking.
