    Lol man where did you find this because I have no idea. I thought the MALX was dead dead long ago. I'm sure all of these are just refurbished systems that they are trying to sell off. And talk about outdated lol.

    Dual 7900GTX.
    Turion 64 (not even X2)
    1680x1050 19" widescreen (bleh)

    @Travis - Do not buy this notebook. You complained about the M9750 being too slow of a notebook for you, and that it was too heavy to be used on your lap. I'm telling you right now that this notebook is larger and slower, 2 things which you complained about non-stop.

    If you get this notebook and have a problem with it please do not even think about complaining, you've been warned.

    Just my opinion but c'mon think about it harder and see why you don't want it.

    Travis you have to be kidding me, don't buy this. You complained about how the M9750 was too heavy and too big, this isn't any better.

    Are you the one who said that? This one is heavier than the m9750 and worth less. Didn't you comment on that YouTube video saying "they sell it on the main website as a refurbished computer.... DO NOT BUY IT - they are selling them for $2800, and the specs they include are only worth $1200." by travis30384

    So you never used a heavy laptop on your laps? I understand, but now you can? Have you been going to the gym lately?

    I only saw him put the laptop on his laps, he didn't even turn it on. There is a big difference between using a laptop while it's on your laps and just putting it on your laps while it's off. (Putting is different than Using)

    And can you please type properly? We are not sending instant messages here.

    It's not you :D. And just for a correction, I think 19" is not considered to be a laptop anymore.
