    The 3 stars says it all on that website it is mediocre to say the least and as every day goes by it becomes weaker. Someone posted earlier on today to get the same model with only a slightly weaker HDD and the same I5 Gen 2 but with the most important 192bit 460M for only $1100. For gaming at 1080p it is vital.

    I have said it many times that it may do the business now but soon enough it will be struggling and if you intend to play BC3 and Skyrim you will suffer trying to get good results from that card at release because the bandwidth just cannot cut it.

    Do yourself a favour and stay away from best buy. Put up a couple more 100 bucks and get yourself a laptop that can perform into 2012.

    If you compared your new setup to the Best Buy 128 bit gimped 460M it would even make kittens cry my friend :D
