    Goodevening fellaz!
    After a long hard decision of bestbuys small selection of laptops I have finally found the machine I want. Earlier this week I had purchased their Asus G50. Took it home couldnt live with that 15" inch screen returned it and got the P6860FX tried to do a fresh install to get rid of bloatware and come to find out the that drivers arent on the Restore CD so I returned it for another 6860FX! at this time they want to charge me a restocking fee but I get them to waive it anyways! YAY! get home looked online and heard about the P7811FX and was like OMG! so again packaged the laptop and brought it back the laptop wasnt on display yet and asked to check in the back and VOILA 3 in stock Only!! at this time the same lady said she had to charge me a restocking fee. located the a good friend of mine on whom I had purchased my entire entertainment center from and little chat with the General Manager and now ITS MINEEEE!!!!! I can believe it has a Windows Index Rating of 5.2 sick rig, great price I love it!!!!!

    Windows Index Rating doesn't mean anything.

    Hes right you know.
    My M-152XL has a Windows score of 5.1
    And the 7811FX has is a superior system, except maybe the processor.

    My P-172X FX is 5.1 out of the box, because of the memory, is that 5.2 on the 7811FX from the memory?

    My P6860 also has a 5.1 rating. After I installed a T9300 in it. Congrats on the purchase. If you get around to it, I would be interested in knowing 3dmark06 score for that beast. Post it on this thread if you do.
