I just found a really nice laptop online. Can you take a look to see if this would be good for running 20 plus tables with HEM and TN on?

This laptop looks very good. Can you tell me what are must upgrades for this laptop? I want this because it has 1080p.
I know for sure it would be
Intel core i5 minimum?
4gb ram. How come its only $20 extra to upgrade to 4gb ram where its $170 more to upgrade to 6gb ram. Is the 4gb ram here worst than say dells 4gb ram?
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 GPU (1GB VRAM) because that is only way i can get 15.5" Full HD VAIO Premium Display (1920x1080). Its actually free now as oppose to an extra $50 but i buy by october 9
The Hard drive they give is 320GB (5400 rpm) What would you suggest i upgrade this to? I know 7200 rpm is the minimum i should have. I am thinking 500GB (7200RPM) for another 80 dollars would be my best option? I read the thread about SSD but would it be a better idea to not upgrade the hard drive and just buy a separate SSD and then put it into this laptop? Would that be much better? How much GB would i need? I see there are 80gb ones, 160gbs. I can tell you this from my desktop that i bought earlier this year. I have about 1 million hands played. according to HEM since may so thats about 5 months.
I am also confused. If i buy SSD drive, that means i still have my 320gb 5400 rpm right? So if i store songs, files, are those going to go to the SSD 80gb or the 320gb? Is it possible to have the ssd all dedicated to HEM/Poker?
I checked it and price comes to under $1100 with the upgrades i did and i think that is a very good price for this laptop.
