please put the price in the title

your title says one price, your posting says another
sheesh.


Why is this a red deal? $639 is actually not bad, especially if you're looking for a gaming laptop. For +$20 you can upgrade to 4 GB of memory and for +$10 you upgrade to a 250 GB 5400 RPM drive. Yeah, no Windows 7, that's the only downside.


this is a very good deal.
The downsides are a slow graphics card (better then nothing though!) and slow memory.
You would be hard pressed to find a comparable laptop for this price.


I paid over 2 grand for this model last Xmas after I maxed out the specs. Very solidly built laptop and fast too.


According to notebookcheck.com, the 4650 is a decent gaming chip: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-Lis...

DDR3 would be better, but from what I've read you only get up to a 5% boost in performance over DDR2.
