Seriously though Lenovo is scheduling a 1 month wait time for delivery. That's BS.

Consider canceling that one and taking a look at this? (Only if the wait time is stupid) I'm 99% sure this is the same as my laptop. It has an extra bay for another hard drive, but you need to go buy an internal cable of some sort for it (I was hoping to put in a second drive when I saw it was there but couldn't, link below says you have to buy a Drive Caddy and cable set). Not super sure the speaker quality as I usually use headphones, but IIRC, it's reasonable ok. Not awesome branded speaker like the JBL, Altec Lansing or some Sony ones etc levels, but reasonably comparable at a distance and not crappy either. You should be able to hop in a few Staples and get a hands on... or buy and tinker and return if it's not your thing?

EDIT: Checked the specs, apparently this thing has beats audio in it. So the sound quality should be alright.
I recall having a little bit of annoyance finding drivers for the video card for windows 7, but I can assure you, they exist and work great, so if downgrading is your thing, it's possible.
