I have a terabyte external, and a kick-ass desktop. I really would only use it for gaming and not really put a whole lot on the harddrive anyways

That is actually a decent deal for it, especially for Best Buy.  

A few days ago they tried charging me $20 for one SATA cable, said fuck that and went to TigerDirect and bought 2 for $10.

Be sure to go to the store, and push for them to throw in some free software, a USB hard drive, or a free upgrade to Vista Ultimate.

Its a good computer, however, it seems slightly over priced, therefore you should be able to work something extra out of the sales person.

But yes, even at that price, its a good laptop.
