    Found this at the Slickdeals forum and just wanted to relay the information over to here as well - Xotic PC has the Sager NP5160 / Clevo W150HN customizable notebook PC starting at $789 after all shipping costs.

    The 1920x1080 resolution upgrade is only $65 more, making the notebook a very low $856 for the following configuration:

    • 15.6" LED Backlit Wide screen (1920x1080) Super Clear Glare Type Screen
    • 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM, 2.0-2.8GHz, (32nm, 6MB L3 cache)
    • NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 1024MB PCI-Express GDDR3 DirectX 11 with Optimus™ Technology
    • 4GB DDR3 1333MHz Dual Channel Memory (2 SODIMMs)
    • Combo 8x8x6x4x Dual Layer DVD +/-R/RW 5x DVD-RAM 24x CD-R/RW Drive w/Software
    • 320GB 7200RPM (Serial ATA II 300 - 16MB Cache)
    • Built-in 2.0 Megapixel Camera
    • Integrated Fingerprint Reader

    A 3-year labor warranty is provided as well, but this price does not include the operating system. You will have to add this if you need Windows.

    Since this notebook is customizable, prices will vary based on what you pick or don't pick out. Regardless, I think the configuration mentioned above is worth it.

    Hmm, they are offering (1366x768)resolution but not (1920x1080) for $789.
    Also, the warranty is 3 years labor and 1 year parts.
    Anyway its a really good offer.

    I wonder how the GT 540M 1024MB will preform in terms of gaming. Haven't see any reviews yet.
