    The 7801u is actually cheaper than Best Buy's 7805u ($1149). For all you potential buyers, use Windows Live's Cashback program to save 12% on the $1300 7801u laptop. (Newegg is selling the laptop for ~$1550 with a "discount".)

    Instructions:
    1) Register account: https://cashbackaccount.search.live....k/welcome.aspx

    2) Open Internet Explorer and go to http://www.live.com

    3) Search "Tigerdirect"

    4) There will be a link "Tigerdirect Official Site" with a faded brown background.
    - Click on "Live Search cashback". There will be a coin next to the link.

    5) Once you click, a popup should come up
    Enter the email address you are using for your cashback account.
    Enter the security code word.

    6) The popup disappears after displaying "Your cashback is active"...
    - Search "Gateway P-7801u" in TigerDirect's search box.

    7) Submit your order. You will NOT see TigerDirect showing the discount since it's a third party discount.

    8) You will soon receive an email from Windows Live stating that you saved ~$156. (The fine/small print may take up to 60 days but I got it within 10 minutes of purchase.)

    I hope it helps.
