    That's a pretty good deal. The 7900 GS is a bit better than the 8600M GT, and the T7200 is essentially identical to the T7300. The only caveat is upgrades are limited with the T7200, but processor upgrades aren't usually fiscally worth it anyways, and for $810 that is a good deal. With Wireless-N, a high-resolution display, and Bluetooth as well, I'd say, so long as you don't mind the size, go for it.
