Actually, that's a GREAT deal. The laptop I have isn't that good and I got it for $689, which is 25% off the normal price. I got it that cheap because of an HP Employee Discount from my dad.

But that's a great deal, jump all over it.

That is such a good deal, I'd be worried that something is wrong.

Great deal
You have a link, I'd like to check it out

Can anyone confirm that there is actually a 512mb Go version

Yeah here's the GPU.


But in order to get it, I'd have to sell my sig rig.

I emailed the guy asking for more info and pics.

I'm not gonna post a link because someone stole a deal from me another time when I did that.
