    Walked into Best Buy and they one on the shelf. Specs looked pretty sweet:

    1. i7 2630QM (2.0ghz with TB up to 2.9)
    2. 8GB RAM
    3. 1600 x 900 17.3" LED
    4. 1TB (WOW!) HD , but only at 5.4K RPM :(
    5. ATI Radeon 6570HD
    6. Blu-ray ROM with DVD +/- RW

    I'm so tempted to buy it. Even though the system I have now (satellite a665-s6067 with 720QM and 1GB GT330m, 8GB RAM) is adequate. The 1600 x 900 display just looked gorgeous.

    Would I see a big bump in performance and image quality from this upgrade, or should I save my $$$? What do you guys think? Anyone own one or something similar?


    Thanks!!!
