Hi,

How can we order this system in India? I think the configuration depends only on the availability in the outlets. Can we ask them to upgrade the HDD or Optical drive or something?

Update: I just talked to the representative of Jumbo Electronics. They offer only one configuration with i5 520M, ATI 5470, HDD 500GB 5400rpm and DVD RW drive. I need to upgrade HDD and optical drive at least, but it is not possible here. He suggested me to go for Dell instead.

If that happens to you backup your data and give the laptop for replacement as its a bad GPU.
