    Hi
    I've been looking around at g50v. I found one for thats preconfigured for around €1350. Does this sound like a good deal?


    I'm also wondering how good a laptop is this for gaming? eg can it handle crysis on good settings? Also is the keyboard tiny as I see theres a numberpad?

    Thats a pretty decent price, I would think, considering the specs.
