    Does that mean that the 9600m GT that came in the older MS-1651 can be upgraded with the GTS 160M?

    The GPU is updated, ram now supports DDR3 1066Mhz system memory, and is supposed to support Quad core also.

    Is that the actual keyboard on the machine or is it just an old stock picture? I thought they changed it a bit so the 0 on the numpad was smaller (causing the arrow keys to be larger, as well as a slightly larger shift key -- common complaints among reviews for this laptop).

    It would be a serious step backwards if this was actually it!
