    Greetings all. Recenlty have been looking around at laptops and came across this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220529

    I was searching up and couldn't really find much in google (I'll admit, I didn't look as hard as I could have) and was wondering if it's worth the current price ($1299). I'm big on things that have a discount or instant rebate and well I figure I might as well pick this up. I personally don't see much wrong with it but I figure you guys are the experts and might know more about it then I do, i.e. any problems I should watch out for or concerns. The only one I see from reviews is the Blue-Ray not working which is fine for me. Not big on it anyway.

    Thanks in advance for any and all help and Happy 4th of July!

    Well the only things I found on google were reviews that led back to the ones on Newegg.

    Anyone have any information on this laptop? I'd hate to be throwing $1300 away for something that could cost me to send back to the states (currently in Japan and no Best Buy suuucks :p )

    After a bloody MONTH searching for the right laptop, I am about to pull the trigger on this unit.

    ANY reviews, images, etc. would be VERY appreciated!

    For the money, this machine doesnt seem to have any competition. The processor, graphics, warranty etc. are insanely good for 1300 smackers.

    WHO HAS IT? LETS HEAR!

    It is worth the price and then some. Love mine. It plays STEAM mp games better than I had hoped. Still crank up the dt for games like Crysis etc

    mult media is another big plus
