    I'm thinking about picking up this laptop but there doesn't seem to be alot of info on the i5 version as opposed to the i7 version. Can anyone out there give me any input on the performance of the i5 version of the Envy 17? Does it feel like the i5 processor bottlenecks the performance of the graphics card? I can get get it for $1199. Looks like the i7 version goes for about the $1500-$1600 range. Is it really worth the extra dough for the i7 version?
