That's about as beastly of a machine as one can buy today. $3,585 is a good chunk of change, but it is a decent deal. An NP5760 from Sager with the exact same specifications runs about $4,000. You could probably get a better deal from Flawless if you call though. I still think you should be able to knock some more off of there.

Partitioning the hard drive is up to you. You could have one partition for Windows + a few programs, and the other for games and data. That way, if you ever have to reformat, then your games/data can be left intact.

 

I have actually been emailing flawless and the price was 3,785 and they gave me a 200 dollar promo code. i am still wondering, how i could get it a little lower without actually taking any components out.

 

If you call, you could probably get an additional discount. I didn't know that you had already gotten $200 off, so that's a better deal than I originally thought.

 

Looks good, I would leave it as is. You can always partition stuff later very easily.

I love the computer, it is amazing, and so is flawless....

 

lower? get rid of the warranty....its a bit excessive....

 

Keep the warranty and make the call. Do you need the FX2500M for your work or are you a gamer? The FX2500M costs more so you could consider "downgrading" (haha, yea right) to a 7950GTX.

 

oh, wow....didnt even notice that.....get rid of that card....you can render graphics faster, but other then that.....idk

 

yea theres no way i am downgrading, i need the rendering poooower....i am trying to work a final deal for this, i am hoping to keep it below 3,500....

 

idk...im a graphic artist and the 7950 is good enough....unless you are throwing down Harry Potter-esque special effects or LOTR battle scenes.... then it is a bit extreme....

 

so i have pulled the trigger, and spend a lot of money on something that will hopefully not be outdated, for at least four years..... i am now part of sager/clevo family.

 

welcome to the family man....that laptop rocks! you will be very very happy with it!

 

I quote it too!

When around is the crap, get your Clevo and Come Up!

I just spend two more words for Flawlesscomputers through wich i could met a whole new world.

Thx Brian ---

 

i think i understand what you said.....

 

Congrats on the notebook.

Nice price for that fully loaded rig.

Flawless is definitely "not going out of business.... ever" as stated from the rep

You definitely should give us some impressions or maybe a review of that notebook when your break it in.
