    I was looking for a good laptop for about a month and used this site to do a lot of my research into it, and I decided on the 7811. I got this beast during the best buy labor day sale for $1250.00. I really couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.

    This is the first time I've owned a really nice computer like this whether it be a desktop or laptop. So far I've had no issues with it at all. The screen is stunning and I really like the looks of it as well. I don't have any major complaints, just some nitpicky things.

    As far as gaming goes, this thing rocks. I don't really care too much about being able to max out everygame or anything, but this machine certainly gets the job done. On COD4 it runs smooth everything maxed (I never turn on AA on any game I don't find it necessary) and the res.max as well. Crysis Warhead, Dx10, all settings on mainstream/gamer (no motion blur i don't like it) and it runs fantastic. I've messed with it a little and with res at 1440x900 and a little OCing it runs smooth with most setting at enthusiast.

    I have never used a computer to play any games before now, i was console only, but I love it now. I'm hooked and it's because of this laptop. I now plan on getting a desktop version next year, so I can do most of my gaming on that and use this mostly for portable media.
