Does this laptop (the $398.61 one) have a SSD hard drive? what's the processor model? how much RAM does it have? how many cells does the battery have?

hello, Asus told me that I can upgrade to 256gb ssd. I am planning to upgrade in the future when the ssd have a better price. I think it's a good buy

It's a 320gb hard drive. The ssd refurs to the 16gb - 32gb sd card. It's on the asus website. But this guy doesn't tell you is that there isn't an operating system in the product that he is selling. All he told was he "had to listen everything from asus site". Good computer crappy seller

solid state drive, no. I've read that a new batch of SSD drives will be release later this year (of course) that will be cheaper and bigger. Battery life is around 6 hours, better than all other new models running windows eight. Having a blu-ray burner is nice. I couldn't find a laptop for this price that had one. http://gizmodo.com/5969012/short-battery-life-sinks-first-windows-8-notebooks?tag=windows-8

On Sony's online store you can get a custom model and up it to an Intel Core i7-3667U processor (2.0 GHz / 3.2 GHz turbo boost) for $180 extra. 8 Gigs of RAM is the tops. I don't think the board can support anything higher. It's basically a laptop in an all-in-one body. At this stage it has to be this way to make sure the battery can handle it unplugged for a few hours. It would drain it too quickly otherwise. Looking forward to what they can come up with in 3-5 years with better mobile technology and better batteries.

SSD as sold. Battery can be replaced. It does not have an external cover to remove. You would have to open the PC to get at it. Check with ACER.

Edward,You're very welcome. I ordered it straightly from Amazon one week and a half ago when it was $949. General impression about it - I love it! It is super fast. My previous laptop was based on Core 2 Duo (2 GB RAM) and the difference in speed is very noticeable.

Hello. Ive purchased and currently own this product. This computer has SSD of 256GB and you can use slightly less than that. (The model that is described here) Thank you and let me know if you have any question!

I don't. But if you are serious, you probably want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM and replace the hard drive with SSD. Also find a way to cool down this laptop (with a serious cooling pad, not toy cooling pad), so this super powerful i7 CPU can overclock itself automatically to its full potential. (otherwise it will throttle itself preventing overheat, if you reach around 87 degree C)I can confirm 16 GB of RAM and SSD will work for this laptop. I am not sure 32 GB of RAM though. Will try next year when the RAM cost goes down. :DGood luck shopping.

This laptop is works great with programs like photoshop, running smoothly even when I use tons of high resolution layers. I have not had any experience with video editing but I do not foresee it being problematic. It has the i7 processor which is something that would be very helpful for video editing and also has the very nice GTX760 graphics card, which though not the best out there, is still not shabby and I would expect it to be at least sufficient for video editing. It also has two slots for RAM so if the 8 GB doesn't end up being enough you can replace the RAM it comes with to get up to 32 GB of RAM.

I have previously owned a T43, and the last one is a T61. The W530 did not have an SSD however I cloned the 500gb drive and installed aMicron ~900GB drive in it's place, W7 boots in seconds! run time on batteries is an easy 4 hours with little power saving turn on. The only thing I do not like: No caps lock led. I use it for engineering work and normally have it on a dock, However it still many times faster than the T61 while on batteries.

The ram is soldered down so that amount you get is what you're stuck with. You can upgrade the hard drive and replace it with a solid state drive which makes the device faster, specifically the boot up time. I bought this laptop for my mom and replaced the hard drive with a Samsung 840 SSD with no issues. A SSD will also keep internal temperatures lower since the memory is flash (like your thumb drive/usb stick) vs. a hard drive which has moving parts.

More important question is what processor does this laptop have. Description is not accurate.

The one I bought did.. As far I remember that is one of things i checked, before i bought it.. I think you should check best buy. I just recently bought a couple laptops with windows 8 new and better features for 299.99. I was much happier with this one http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+15.6%22+Laptop+-+4GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive+-+Black/7688053.p?id=1218858193067&skuId=7688053.
