    I have an original Samsung SSD drive with the Dellionware merge on the orginal area-51 systems. This drive is nothing to brag about and I actually use it as an External HDD to store videos and TV shows :confused:

    LOL I had one of those, the RBX series if I remember right, not a bad drive but garbage R/W speeds compared to the drives now a day. That is one of the things I like about the Samsung's though is they're pretty dang reliable.

    No no not the aafes discount. I'm talking about 2720+1080p 60hz+GPU of your choice. The 2720 and that screen is the best bang for buck in terms of performance, says many folks lolz. I was convinced that if I get the 2630, I would be unsatisfied, and the 2820 is just too costly/unnecessary.

    Ah...gotcha. Yeah the 460M won't do it for me. If I go 460M I would buy from Costco for their fantastic return/warranty policies (they sell ASUS RoG lappys). But I want something in the 485M and 6970M class for my gaming laptop. I'm definitely with you on the CPU and screen though. Especially the screen - I won't be skimping on that!

    What's Costco's return policy? How many years warranty?
