I bought one of these at $1200 from Best Buy, and am very pleased with it. Heavy, to be sure, but what do you expect from this grade of desktop replacement?

The specs seems really good. But i don't know about CompUSA tho.

I'm buying it... don't even care if it's a refurb.

4gb ddr3?

Hmmm.. a gateway? The specs are nice but the brand bothers me. Has anyone had luck with gateway?

this seems like a GREAT deal, correct me if im wrong. built in mic?

This was THE laptop to get about 4 months ago. Do your own research and investigate.

This is an amazing deal. This is probably the best gaming laptop deal ever offered in 2008.

I bought this laptop for $1250 at BestBuy a few months ago, and have absolutely no regrets. It just flies through games. All of the recent games I've been playing work great on this with max graphics settings, at the 1920x1200 res. On the Windows Vista performance test, the graphics card and memory benchmarks get the highest possible score(a 5.9), and the CPU(5.2) and hard drive(5.4) aren't far behind.

When I bought this a few months ago, I looked around at similar laptops from other manufacturers. The cheapest I could find something comparable was around $2500. Between the 4GB of DDR3, 7200RPM hard drive(and 2 hard drive bays), 9800GTS graphics card, full 1080p screen, wireless-N, and HDMI and eSATA outputs, this is a truly amazing deal. Plus, it's upgradable. If you want more RAM, pop in 8GB of DDR3. Or, if you want a faster CPU, you can put an Intel Quadcore in.

If you're thinking about getting a gaming laptop, stop thinking, and get this.

#6: yes, built in mic and webcam.

Dead, I think, can't find it on their site anymore.

There were two revisions of this laptop, the first one was a piece of crap and always overheated during gaming. They fixed the problem in the second rev. You can tell which one you have by the keyboard but I don't remember the details. Search the notebookreview forums.

Wow, nice desktop replacement. Great deal. #12, ditto #14.

deal is dead

Dead. Would have been a sweet deal...

Fuck... too late.

I was able to buy one earlier. Thanks for the 5% cashback, and sorry about this Ben, you're not getting a penny because I used live.com.

I called both CompUSA and Tiger to see if I could order one. One said that they had a 200 count back order and the other one said the last one was ordered 20min before. O well maybe next time
