    sorry for all the bugging, guys but I really don't know what a good deal is... some other guys on here said this might do the trick but i wanted to make sure with all you Asus owners. http://www.buy.com/retail/Product.asp?sku=212446723

    sorry for all the bugging... please, leave some feedback, and if you can, post some links to good deals. please...

    You would probably get better feedback in you went to the "what should I buy section" of the forum and fill out the standard form. (what you want, your budget, etc.)

    Without much info it's hard to efficiently help you.

    no, no, I already posted in there and this was recommended to me. I'm just getting more feedback here. like, is this a good deal if i want to play some newer games at decent specs, such as Crysis, Assassin's creed 1/2, etc.

    maybe I should have stated my budget... this computer is pretty much in my budget's higher ranges. I don't have a great source of money, hoping to get a job this summer so I can get at least 1500 bucks. so comps over about 750-800 are out of my range, I'm afraid...

    Then it's a good deal.
    This laptop will play CRYSIS pretty well if you lower the settings and AC-1 and 2 should be no problem.
