    This looks like the DV5t before they took away the 9600gt option. I had one for about a week. It was a solid and nice system. I didnt even mind the fact that it was a fingerprint magnet. The fan was loud on it when i was gaming (playing WoW) and so I returned it. I didnt expect it to kick on and run for the whole time I was playing and be so loud. The one in your link has a lower screen res, so maybe it wont tax the gpu as much and will run quieter? If not for the fan noise, I would still have it.
