    Greetings everyone.
    A friend of mine who lives in canada has just offered to send me a laptop from canada, But because he's sending it in 48 hours it needs to be bought from a store which delivers it in 24 hours.
    A good suggestion would be this:

    http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3776464&CatId=17

    I want to know:
    1. Your opinion about the laptop. Is it a good gaming laptop? I guess 8600GS is not such a good choice, right?!
    2. I want to know how well the laptop LCDs play games, I mean the "Pixel-Response rate" of them, specially the laptop I mentioned above. Does it suffer from noticeable "Ghosting"?
    3. Anybody here can find a better offer (Acer or anything else) from tigerdirect or another site in canada which delivers a laptop in 24 hours? any laptop around $1000 would be fine.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    That laptop only has the nvidia gs. You should look for one with the gt. I have the same laptop with a 512m gt model and works great. You might also look for one with wireless n. I also got the 250 gig hd and only paid $900.
