For $100CDN less you can get a similar Laptop with a Radeon 9600 Graphics chipset.  A bit more capable of games.  If thats your thing.

personaly.. id just go for a desktop computer if u can.. better parts for much less and u get more for ya money... also alot easyer to customise ya computer and get what parts u want, and u can actualy upgrade the parts in it easly.. but if u wana be able to take the comp around with u easly.. then get a laptop. but if u dont need it for that, then id advise to stay away from laptops if u realy want a good computer for less.

ok that looks like a good laptop i would get it if i had the money but i already have one but its a pentium 2 . If you have the money to spend i would also go for the laptop

Its better then my desktop lol good luck getting it

gee some is is spoaled...

nah j/k blade, for what you get with it, and the cost,  it is a good deal.  Now after the taxes(... tax), $2100 is  alittle to much for me.  but maybe you have more money then I do, so its prob not that big of a deal for you

A. Proc speed doesnt matter at this point for a laptop

If your going to get a laptop the proc speed isnt going to matter, it's all in the graphics chipset. For the most part asides from being significantly cheaper, slower is better for a laptop. The proc generates enough heat to burn your skin though disapated through a heat sync and a fan, it is still very hot and not comfortable to have on your lap.

I REALLY doubt I have more money than you This would be a 1 time thing

Anyways, I've decided not to get it atm. I'm going to wait until I pay my car off first
