I'm thinking about getting this laptop:

$1200
Intel i7 720QM
4 GB Ram
ATI HD 5730
17.3 " Screen with 1600 x 900 Resolution
500 GB Harddrive
What do you guys think?
Also thank God for sales-tax free Internet shopping.
If you're into gaming, might want to get a better graphics card.
True, I'm thinking of getting this one instead:Quote:

It has a terrible case design though.
What's your thoughts for the laptop's primary use?
My thought is : it is usually better to go with a smaller foot print. A screen size of 17.3 on a laptop is over kill. It might be better to buy an external monitor that will give you as big a display as you can afford.Quote:

Then again, that's my thought. You should go with what you're comfortable with. :D

So I ended up buying a 16" one instead:

You sure didn't spend much time shopping around. I was going to recommend a core-i5 model with 8gb of ram and 1gb of video memory that is selling for $900.
I find the customer reviews kind of funny. One guy complained the keyboard wasn't backlit. I think the only manufacturer that makes them is alienware.
Also this is the core i7 using the new socket. I has to be because it's using dual-channel instead of triple-channel memory. A sure sign of this is the 4gb of ram.
What was the laptop you were going to recommend?Quote:

It was an asus. I don't know the exact model and it may have been on sale. I think it was a k-52 with an optional memory upgrade.Quote:
