ive been hunting for a laptop nonstop since november
had a lenovo i had settle on but they dont take trini ccs and it was a weekend deal so missed out

found a great refurb asus ... which sold out right infront my face
then i came across this bad boy

a couple hundred over what i would normally consider paying for a lappy
but... laptop prices have actually gone up instead of coming down with the new parts on the market..

so right now iam in love and wanna order soooo badly.

Price hot but it looking boss. No local warranty might hurt though :s

yeah that bad boy nice. the other one with the i5 not bad either, i should have waited before i bought mine.

@ a grand for them specs, pfft @ warranty
the screen alone absolutely win
buh combine with the card and i5 and everything else.. plus asus reliability

i wondering if they realise they sellin it at this price
cause i spent the last few months looking for something as good as this and never came close.
infact the only thing close is the old republic of gamers laptop from august 2009 that had a 1440 screen instead of full 1080p that also selling on amazon refurb for like 772 or so, i was lookin at that and thought,lemme check if it have ah new one?
boom this thing descends from heaven.

The closest machines to this all have 1366 screens and dont have 7200 rpm drives
mustt buyyy

but getting a lappy at this price means no 28' hanns g screen till later this year *le sad*

i'd recommend Asus , i got the cheapest asus model with discrete graphics last year may , F50-SV , and its holding up pretty good , survived a 2 foot fall off my bed once .

Mine being the cheap model has design flaw with the LCD cable , i need to send it get replaced after this semester, but i'v never had any serious problems with it , never overheated despite a good bit of video card overclocking and barbados's heat, no serious hardware problems to speak of

No local warranty does hurt but you just have to pay 400-500tt to ship it to a service center in the states via fedex , and they'r supposed to ship it back free. The latest models i think have 2 way paid shipping.

*Redlum drools and can't wait for tomorrow*

Yes W1nTry, that means I will be sending you my HD4870 X2 and RAM soon, since my Desktop is out of commission for the while...

The machine you linked is an i7, 6gb ddr3 and a Nvidia gts 360, topped off with a 108-p resolution. For $1400 its certainly not bad.

I see u mentioned i5 so I take it you bought a lesser specced mahine? If so, what are the exact specs and price paid.

Wow...I am liking that mouse very much. I have fallen in love now with Microsoft's mice since they
introduced the 'bluetrack' tech in the Sidewinder X8. This one however, is more like the Logitech VX Nano.

Eroo · « **Reply #14 on:** April 15, 2010, 07:50:14 PM »

Wow at that price. When I saw the specs I was sure it was around 2000.00 US. This price certainly has me tempted.

Can't go wrong, I am certainly happy with my purchase of the i7 720QM model with the 6 GB of RAM, laptop runs REAL nice...only gripe I have is battery life, it drains fast, especially on High Performance settings...if you intend on gaming, find a power outlet before you do...but this lappy is a beast for a nice price!

Fkacn_tt · « **Reply #16 on:** April 15, 2010, 08:59:14 PM »

yeah they usually are battery hugs, maybe a 12cell may make a differencce.

AR!Ø · « **Reply #17 on:** April 15, 2010, 08:59:43 PM »

I have that nano mouse, after using it for (about) 2 years I find it difficult to use larger ones

woodyear99 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 16, 2010, 01:01:28 AM »

That is such a good price. I am so tempted lol

Crixx_Creww · « **Reply #19 on:** April 16, 2010, 08:05:21 AM »

i wanna get atleast a 9 cell by end of year
and swap out the dvd rom drive to put the disk drive there and get a 160 gig ssd for primary
