    So, i need a laptop for light gaming and school. I was debating between the dv8t and the Asus G72...so my plan was to wait untill monday and see if any good coupons appeared for the dv8t quad edition...

    However, today i saw a coupon for a dv7t quad and began configuring it...

    this is where im at.

    HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition customizable Notebook PC-NZ584AV

    So, $875 for the laptop vs the $1200 or so for the asus.... think this is the best i can get on it.. or should i try and hold out for something better?

    the Dv7t is awesome and although the G72 gives slightly better gaming performance... it overheats like hell.. since your getting this deal jump in and get the Dv7t...
