    I'd say that is a fair price. I paid ~$1300 for my G73JH-RBBX05 about 3 months ago. Not much has changed in the laptop scene since.
    I do have a personal question for you:

    Are you the walrus? Come on, be honest!

    no, the walrus is paul. :)

    hmm. thanks for the tip. but at that price point that deal just seems too good (to be true?). well, if that's the case the search for a gaming laptop continues. :) thanks for the replies.

    I bought XT1 this week and still on wait for my delivery. One question to owners: is recovery DVD for Win7 included into package?

    I would say it as a pretty good deal.. I pain 1350$ for my g53-a3 which comes with a bag and mouse and a smaller form factor was important for me.. If you are going to buy a laptop, wait for a month or so since they will reduce the prices of these laptops because of the introduction of sandybridge laptops

    Probably not a good idea to trash a retailer without at least citing some sources.
