Replies drifting Posted at 5:08 pm on Aug. 5, 2008 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. espresso8097 Posted at 2:36 pm on Aug. 5, 2008 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.

I really would only use it for gaming and not really put a whole lot on the harddrive anyways MaryLin Posted at 12:10 pm on Aug. 5, 2008 It looks nice. And it's no way expensive. :) paper planes Posted at 12:08 pm on Aug. 5, 2008 its a fair asking price i wouldnt call it cheap but also for you paying that you should get a bigger harddrive Leonhart Posted at 12:08 pm on Aug. 5, 2008 Good price!

Byble Posted at 12:06 pm on Aug. 5, 2008 The specs look cool, but omd it looks buff as well i would buy it by just the way it looks.. and oo lights, and i suppose it's yh around the right price.. but prob paying a bit extra cos the way it looks its like sex. acausedelle Posted at 12:05 pm on Aug. 5, 2008 If you can afford it, then you should buy it. revived5656 Posted at 12:05 pm on Aug. 5, 2008 thats the same type im using now i paid 750 4 mine All 10 previous replies displayed.
