Contradictory statements!!

kentalish--I've got a couple questions:

1) Are you interested in opening up a laptop yourself to add RAM at some point?

2) What gaming computer are you using currently?

3) If you could buy a gaming laptop that makes newer games like Just Cause 2 look VERY good (but not maxed all settings) for $1000, would you prefer to buy one of those? Because you could just buy a newer laptop better than the $2400 one for $1500 a year from now--paying for the absolute best is only worth the money if the money doesn't matter to you.

4) Do you care about 3D gaming?

5) Is an SSD a big deal to you?
