I dont know that I would waste cash on it, but it seems to be a good deal. I just cannot imagine it is worth it. I imagine lots of heating and other issues. :/

I'd probably invest a little bit more on an Asus G51J-A1 system and get full 1080p display and a better graphics card... and 2x320GB HDDs =P But I intend on gaming on a laptop.

Lightsword

I decided not to get it...but the Asus would be a little out of my price range, as this one was a stretch at best, It wouldn't be for a main gaming system as a have my sig rig for that, could just use a nice laptop that can play some games(graphics quality isn't particularly important, something that can run TF2 at a decent fps would be fine) and with good battery life an portable...any suggestions for one under 1000?

firestormcomputers

No . . .
At least get this:

I agree the CPU and BR do not justify the almost $1000 cost increase. Oh and the weaker GPU? HP sucks. So does DeLL if you want cutting edge and value. Wrong ballpark wrong brand.

Lightsword

Yeah that doesnt look bad at all, just wondering is there anything cheaper and smaller that is till capable of playing games like TF2?

Just picked up a gateway FX series laptop for 999 from tigerdirect. They are sold out now, but you can for sure pick one up elsewhere for a similar price. I would recommend it for sure. I have only had it a few days, but everything seems to be going well.

I had a gateway FX series a few months ago(this is sort of a replacement). I now hate gateway because of that. The thing had to be sent into warranty 3 times in under a year. It continuously overheated and would slow down all the time. I think im probably not going to ever get one of those again :P

A-E-I-Owned-You

Oh damn. I have pushed this thing pretty hard and it has held just as much ground as I had expected if not more. I was even able to do some game mapping with it with no issues. :/
