That is a pretty good laptop and decent price. Why 4gb ram? Way too much! It better have a 64bit OS, or that 4gb is worth nothing.

Well I have seen it already and although I didn't check, 4gb showed up on the hardware screen for vista so...

Yea 4gb is a lot but there really is nothing better on newegg for that price...

well the feedback on newegg say that it comes with vista 32bit so only recognises 3gig...

but hey! 3gig is good enough man

I am telling you guys I have seen the laptop already, oddly enough windows vista sees all 4 gigs, that guy who wrote must be an idiot..

I'll take screen shots when I get it...

Also, 32 bit OS can recognize and often do recognize 4gb of memory but often the available space is used by either GPU memory or others etc..

Anyways, this isn't about the OS, its about the laptop!

It is badass regardless...

If it has SP1 it may be able to recognize that extra gig. The specs look awesome for the price but I will warn that I sell zts (mostly low end to mid range mind you) and they seem to have bad reliability. I hope this one is different but just putting that out there.

The specs do look awesome! I have a question how long does the battery last? Cause in most laptops the battery last only a couple hours. Someone should think of like a solar laptop. That would be awesome!
