    LOL.
    no responses = no one really wants a fully loaded 17"

    I guess its too heavy for most consumers.

    Still a great deal though, less than 8 hours left.

    The video card is unappealing, as is the fact that it's a turion x2 and not a core duo processor.

    I think it's an OK deal for anyone who just wants a 17'' notebook at all costs, and it DOES have 2 gb ram. Personally, though, I'd spend the extra few hundred dollars if I wanted a 17'' to make it up to par as a MC-type laptop.

    True, It would have been nicer if it had a dedicated videocard.
