As of this writing (Dec. 2, 2012), there are five non-refurbished Core i7 laptops in the $500-$750 price range on Newegg:

ASUS K55A-DH71

Acer Aspire AS5750-9422

Acer Aspire V3-571-9890

Acer Aspire V5-171-9661

TOSHIBA Satellite S855-S5378

Only one (the Toshiba) is expandable to 16GB. You need to check all the specs, especially if you're bargain hunting.
