    Yeah, I was looking at it, and does it come with everything e.g AC Adapter and Manual. How much of a percent if I bought one, came DOA or messed up when I got it.

    AC adapter yes, Manual no (but that's pretty much standard with most laptops).

    Would it be good to get this laptop instead of the MSI EX625??? And if so should I get it right now?

    some are saying to wait for the new version of the 7805 to come out...however who knows how long that could take...if you're impatient like me you'll just pull the trigger now or wait for the price to come down a bit and then buy one...not unusual to see it for 749.00 but they seem to go out of stock quick when that happens.

    Around what time do you think the price will lower, cause I really need a laptop because I just sold mine.

    If you need a computer buy now. While there will eventually be an new FX out, i'm not longer sure it will be soon (with in the next month)

    If you can wait then wait, but if you need now then i would suggest trying to get a refurb (or if you must buy another brand... though i am biasedly suggesting a FX :p )

    Typically an FX is released between 1250 and 1350 usd. Not sure what this one will be but laws of averages says it will release around the same price.

    I wont say how you should spend your money (your choice in the end)

    But the 7805 is a solid computer, and i think you'll be happy with the preformance. Assuming you dont need 500 frames per second in crysis :)
