i am currently looking for a 2nd laptop, and i really wana get the gateway 7811 but theres no option for international shipping on that one so i need to look for cheap alternative and stumbled upon the older m57RU(specs above) ..so i trimmed down some specs (for price of course, $1,535 USD +international shipping) and will plan to upgrade it later.. so what do you think guys? is eurocom reliable? anyone who experienced ordering from them internationally?

 

wow, nice price for that 9800M GT notebook.

That definitely better than the Gateway P FX with 9800M GTS... especially for the price difference.

 

That sounds like a nice rig for a nice price, im thinking about getting the same thing, but with a 1440 x 900 res. im still not sure if im going to go through with it, cuz im afraid ill see ghosting on the M571RU's 1440 x 900 screen, and that the quality might not be so good. I personally have not dealt with eurocom so i cant tell you if they are good or not.... yet.

 

What exactly is ghosting?
