    Because I'm impulsive lol and like to buy the first thing I think I like or is a really good deal... Didn't even see a 17 inch one, wish I had but I'll be fine with a 15"...

    Usually I hate Dell. But this time, I checked out the laptop and liked this one. I was digging the midnight blue color. Everything looks good. And then I checked the price... the same laptop in midnight blue instead of black costs $70 more. Fuck off Dell

    Your new system will 4-8 table and play unbox with ease. But, I saw today, for the same price (free shipping but not overnight) an HP quad core Intel i7 laptop with larger hard drive, discrete graphics card w 1 gig, 17" 1080p HD monitor and blu-ray drive. :( Sorry. Wish I could have gotten one too.

    That's a $1200 laptop, HP DV8T. I7 is too new to get a great deal on.

    You can do better than that for the price. This one will do what you want but if you look around you can get a better deal. You might want to check out newegg.com or tidgerdirect.com. Also frys.com ewiz.com

    You can probably get that same system for less or a better system for the same price
    Edit: link to quad core ddr3 for basically the same price from HP on newegg.com

    The one I ordered (which will be here tomorrow can't wait!) was $849 (normally $1167) and I got $69 off of the overnight shipping. So I saved around $400 and got a decent laptop from the research I've done on it, but if I don't like it I can always return it and get something else...

    Lol, ya it's an i7 beast of a machine, but no, it's not too new to get a great deal on. It was on sale for $899 straight yesterday.
