    but the deal for the above has expired :( :( :(

    *Is the MicroSoft store legit(NO refurb/used business)?How about delivery and shipping ? Any personal experiences ? How late/early can I expect the order ?
    *Any idea about the actual loss in gaming quality over the 2 GB GPU?
    *Any additional info about the actual model(NO info online :confused: :confused: )


    My usage:
    1.Medium to heavy gaming.(Skyrim,COD,BF,and the like) @ reasonable FPS.I AM NOT looking for ULTRA QUALITY here.
    2.Extensive movie watching.
    3.Mild-Moderate multi tasking.(NO video rendering/heavy photoshop work)

    Any comments would be appreciated.

    PS:Its president day sale.So,I dont wanna miss a deal.Again. :eek:

    Thanx in advance :)

    Hey did you receive it yet?\
    I'm also interested in purchasing one and I have some questions:

    How does the screen quality seem?
    Does the back of the screen/top of laptop distort easily?
    Does it get really hot or noisy on load?
    Also which color does it come in?

    Thanks!
