    As for games, if you haven't already I would check out both Counter-Strike:Source, and the Orange Box. :D

    The Orange box is a great collection of games put out by Valve including:
    Team Fortress 2
    Portal
    Half Life 2
    Half Life 2:Episode One

    It is usually like $50-$60, but right now I just bought it through frys.com for $26 shipping included. :D

    Here's a link:

    Hope this helps!

    If you'd like to get your hands on it faster you could also get it from Steam for $39.99 :)

    Just my 2 cents !!

    Yeah thanks. I know that is the current Steam pricing but I also like to have a physical copy, and having it RIGHT NOW is not a big issue with me. I guess I can handle delayed gratification every now and then. :cool: lol

    Congrats on the laptop - please don't discuss illegal methods of obtaining games here though, thanks. It's like stealing.

    Crysis is a must it is just stunning, the Witcher looks good and I will pick it up when my M15x comes back :) Also Assassins Creed is cool but it gets repetitive about half way through it, until near the end then it gets better again.

    It's terrible that you have to "hope" it won't be a failure. I pre-ordered the Sager NP5796 and I am not worried a bit.

    The Sager NP5796 is not the M860TU... the M860TU is a 15.4; the spec's in his sig are the M570TU I think.
