    I know this probably is a dumb post but I just wanted to thank the Laptop for actually working quite well for me. I had my doubts after purchasing the system but the size and components are far better then anything I have ever owned. I have not had it for too long, but instead of me always worried if it can run something properly I should be thankful I was even able to afford and have one.

    Also thank you everyone on this site for helping me with any problems and questions I have had so far with the Laptop. The tweaking and problem answer information has been so useful. :)

    Cool me too, I love the laptop.

    It definitely has its flaws for a 2k laptop, despite its awesome brand name + cool features (cons would be the heat issues).

    But yeah, being that the only game this thing "somewhat" gives this thing a fight is BF3 right now, then again you can always overclock its an enthusiast gaming computer anyway.

    $2k? Wow. Can't you configure one for $1200-$1400 decently equipped? I strongly considered it but for the price and meager battery life it just didn't make sense for me. It would have been more powerful than the HP I opted for, but my HP was half the cost. Still wouldn't mind looking at it again in the future if I do want something more powerful.

    Yes, this laptop will hold its value, and keep its great looks for a long time. Even in a year or so if you want to sell, could probably get 70 percent of what you paid for it.

    I dont know for US but for countries outside it like mine (NZ), there's no way you can configure it to under 1.5K, because it is pretty much pre-configured when you buy it but that is 1-2 month after I bought this laptop, this is why I have the 3GB GT555M, 750GB HDD and a 6GB RAM, if I have any choice then I would have able to save a few hundred dollars by choosing the 1.5GB GT555M, 500GB HDD and a 4GB RAM instead. However if compare to other 14 inch-er, this laptop is no match, I think I can say this is the most powerful 14 inch laptop in the world.
