I bet the 4780 is NOT upgradeable. There is not an upgrade from the 4760 to the 4780 and they both use the same chassis. I bet the 47XX line will disapear and be taken over by the 8790 line. I believe the chassis between the 8790...

Alienware, Sager, and other boutique PC makers do not play catch up with Dell. It took months for Dell to come out with the ATI 9600 for the 8600 model (the competition had up to a 3 month head start). Dell still uses slower memory...

I am sure it does. I don't know of a DVD burner that does not also do CD's.

1) All laptops are not rebranded by Sony or Dell. They are made from ODM's like Clevo and uniwill. 2) It is a fact that CLEVO is the ODM for Sager and Go-L. If you buy a Go-L, you are buying a CLEVO laptop . If you buy a Sager,...
