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!
