    This laptop looks pretty nice aside from the 2GB max. RAM (unless that's a mistake on their website). I wonder if the SSD is upgradeable.

    Waiting for the reviews to trickle in . . .

    I am pretty sure that is a mistake as both Amazon and Best Buy are selling a model with 4gb of ram now, unless some areas only get 2gb of ram max. Also, cnet already has their review in of it(and like all their notebook reviews is okay at best).

    Best Buy

    Not a mistake. The 11-inch version has 2 GB max RAM, the one on Amazon is the 13-inch version, which comes with 4 GB.

    There is already a long thread about these notebooks in the Samsung forum. A few members have already managed to get their hands on the 13" models.
