This is in the OP:

A word on upgrading your wifi
Buy it.

intel advanced wifi ultimate vs advanced
6300 - 802.11 a/g/n http://www.intel.com/content/dam/ww...-6300-brief.pdf

6205 - 802.11 a/b/g/n http://www.intel.com/content/dam/ww...-6205-brief.pdf

Why?

I have an Intel Centrino 2100 or something like that. I just pulled a 22ms ping, 33.77 down and 9.45 up off of speedtest.net.

Why should I upgrade?

Since the OP hasn't been updated since forever I am just going to ask for a recommendation.

$700 price point.
Quad CPU, intel.
15 inch.
On board GPU is fine.
mSATA would be nice.
HP preferred.

I will put a fresh Win7 on it and don't want to pay extra for a useless touchscreen.

Setting this up for a family member who just had a terrible experience with a Win8 computer that was inundated with bloatware. I convinced her to return it and just follow my advice.
