    Yeah i thought so to for the price, and any tips to prevent the scratches and stuff? does this laptop run hot? (im assuming you have it) because i am thinking about buying a cooling pad but i dont know if i should throw down an extra 30 dollars for it because i am going to be using this for gaming for arma 2 oa and games like that.

    Sometimes it takes two days just to clear customs. You should get it by the date they said though.

    They should've given you some kinda tracking number to know where it is at? Maybe you should contact them back and ask for that number.....

    Its been rock solid for me for the last 9 months. I dont do much gaming but it does get a little hot when i reencode blu-rays. Nothing major though.
