And it's no way expensive. :) -- Posted by Vana at 12:34 pm on Aug. 5, 2008 Quote: from paper planes at 2:08 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 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 -- Posted by espresso8097 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. -- Posted by drifting 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.
