    looks good to me. I'd also compare with dell outlet (which im sure is more costly) and see through if the machine has any issues the seller may have not been explicit about.

    oh yes, as long as it is working, even with minor problems it looks like a good deal, however as the new tech is around the corner, I wouldn't spend on old tech.. just wait, amd 7970 (not the mobile version) will be released in a month AND they are claiming it will max every single detail in BF3 with 60fps :eek: maybe we should buy one desktop too :)

    graz`zt I don't think that if he waits for the new GPU the laptops are going to be nearly close to 800$ - more likely 3000$+ . Get real. Also when the "new" tech arrives, he can easily sell this laptop for ~800$ (EAAAASILY) and buy the new tech for $$$$$$ more than 800

    Damn, I have the same configuration and I'd buy this laptop for 800$ (having then 2) just because is so damn good offer if I were in the States now!

    Dude, for this cash, the laptop is a steal, no more needs to be said.
