    At Best Buy today I saw the A305-S6858 with 4 gigs and Centrino T5750 on sale for $799.00. Didn't have time to read all the specs, but it was described as a "Gaming Laptop"? No clue if this is just hype, or what. Could be BB has a different definition of gaming. I would like mild gaming, but do want good multimedia/movie, image processing, and office stuff.

    well, you can always read the rest of the specs and let us know :p

    Many laptops are descried as gaming laptops, that doesn't mean Crysis games, but many times it means it can play Pac Man without dropping frames. :)

    Thanks my friend. I kind of thought that was about the right translation.
    Looks pretty good for the money I guess. In my price range I have to keep looking and get the most for the money. I think any gaming like Crysis I will have to leave to my desktop -- after I get it souped up more. ;)
