as would I.

not sure exactly how good of a deal it is, but you should look up the average prices of i7 laptops and you'll find out pretty quick.

i cant find a decent i7 for under 1200 and thats WITHOUT bluray which is 100+
i7 laptops goes for around 1.6k here in stores. I would say this is a good deal if the condition is acceptable.

that's a great deal tbh

gfx may be a bit weak, but the CPU...
graphics are not week for a lappy. the 240m is top of the line now. i think the coupon that you use to get that price is now expired. good luck though

yup it is, and sli'd as well

damn that is a very good deal, if only i can find something like that in the uk ill grab that instantly, the cost converts to around £558 GBP so thats definetly worth it in my eyes, but obviously the uk gets stung quite hard on computer hardware

edit: just found something almost similiar http://www.ebuyer.com/product/177480 i hate being in the uk :'(

YES that is a good deal are you serious? Jump on that man!
Yea guys it was the deal that rex posted up there but unfortunately I didn't jump on it in time
But luckily, I was able to get the same laptop (with only a 320 gb hard drive and a wireless g card instead of an n) for 998 with a couple a discounts. Thanks again.
Oh and it should be shipped around December 4th... A little waiting, but I guess its worth it.
