    That is one EXCELLENT deal! It's hard to find anything with a quad i7, 1080p screen and 660m for less than $1000., not to mention blu-ray to boot! Great find!

    Free standard shipping
    2nd Day $9.99
    Next Day $16.99

    Excellent shipping prices too.

    Isn't the Y580 being replaced? Could be you won't see that deal again. Shame really as it's an awesome deal.
