going to buy new ASUS laptop K42JR-A1

[bhome83]

So I've pretty much narrowed my choices down to Asus laptops, and I'm liking this specific model: ASUS K42JR-A1

http://www.amazon.com/K42JR-A1-14-In...7906576&sr=8-1

Anyone have any experience with this specific laptop? The only knock I can see on it, is that it doesn't have bluetooth but this is just a minor annoyance in my opinion. I would be curious to know how the screen looks (decent contrast ratio, viewing angles, etc).

I love that it is only 5lb and has a core i5 processor and decent 1gb video card. The only problem is that I can't really find many reviews on this specific model.

Does anyone know if I can replace the dvd drive with a blu ray drive? What about replacing the HDD's with SSD drives (once they come down more in price)? Is it relatively easy to replace these components if i wish to in the future?


thanks for any help/info!

I would not look at being able to replace any components. Buy it the way you want it.
