REVIEW.
I love this model especially it is intel base model, Intel mainboard/chipset based aptop have low risk in getting high temperature.
By default you will get this laptoip with windows 7 64 bit but you can change the OS with the seller/shop etc. Or get only with free DOS and install windows yourself which will save you a lot of money.
$gb RAM suit with 64-bit system which normally windows 7 32-bit (untill 2011) only support 3GB. Id you get 4GB ram and installed windows 7 it will read 4GB(3GB usable), you can install up to 8GB with 64-bit system.
The HDD 500GB is quite enough, even you can upgrade it say to 640GB or 1TB.
