New to the board\thread and it looks awesome. Loving this laptop, but a few questions;
1. Can a BD drive be upgraded later? Where can that be ordered from?
2. Expected batt life if not gaming?
3. If you look at this laptop at say, Amazon.com, it shows a max memory of 4GB, but this site show 8?? Typo?
4. Anyone know why the laptop is not even listed on Asus's website yet?
How is the heat if noraml using for school video\ photo editing? Can it stay on pretty much constantly?
Although limited gaming in is my future (think COD MW2), currently working on next degree and wanted a powerful desktop replacement. Clearly the i7 is the way to go.... but....
Just looking for opinions... I have a Dell XPS 16 (they have delayed shipping twince, now to th 30th on Oct) on order with 1333 Mem and BD and the 820, but this looks like better deal with the better warrenty and price, granted slower proc, mem, and no BlueRay.
