    Best budget gaming laptop out there. Last day so don't think, BUY! Can handle all games out there (including BF3).

    It's brand new with a full 1 year warranty.

    This is the cheapest I've ever seen it as brand new in Canada.

    Steal! It's a shame that it's only for Canada. :(

    Hmm, nice. Good news is that I will be doing occasional travel to Canada again for work, so may be able to make use of these good deals on occasion.
