^^yes move on that quickly. I almost think that's a mistake either in price or specs, specifically the video card. Normally, a machine with that kind of video card would run into at least $1200us. If that is indeed what you get, I say its a steal of a deal.

Although my dad DID get this pretty sweet laptop off Amazon for $800usd. More than worth the money imo with killer specs.

I'm seriously looking at this MSI , yes its pricey and big but it will stand the test of time better than anything else in its price range.

Mobility 4850 = will play any game for  3 or 4 years.

After some deliberation i'v decided on this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220520  or the next cheapest thing with similar specs.


Hoping to buy next month , instead of going all out on a lappie i forget all i need is a video card to make my desktop a gaming powerhouse again.

thks for the advice guys.

well the asus is pretty much up to standard
except for 14 inch screen and more importantly .. being from best buy...
why are you buying from them?

It's a 15" if I remember correctly, and I'm not buying from them, or sure if I'm buying anything as yet. Just wanted to get a general consensus since I thought it looked pretty decent specs for the price. Where should I buy from in case I do decide to?

edit: That's actually the cheapest I can find it for.

I know next to nothing about the GPU's in laptops, so is there a solid yes or no as to which of these is better?
