You make an excellent point. Do you know if bumping up the ram to 16 GB would require a new card? I have heard about the ram now being soldered in place.... So, I'm not really sure about the implications of that.

Also, would that have a built in disc drive? I can always add an external one. Wouldn't be a deal breaker - just wondering.

Thanks!
