I don’t know what happened to the post on this that was active today. Funny how some stuff vanishes. Here is the first post of the old thread:

I looked at this laptop at an OD today. Everything stated above is correct. It’s responsive, has a good looking screen, the body seems well built, and for all it packs in it’s still fairly slim. Even the web cam picture looks great.
I was ready to buy this for a friend who is looking for a laptop for his daughter, but every store in the Seattle area is out. Since this unit is on close out, they were willing to sell me the display for 10% off (apparently, this is the manager’s call). That would have made it:
$1049 - 10% = $944
Tax on $944, then less $400 in rebates. So, it would have been $544 plus the local tax on $944 ($74 in my case).
That’s a heck of a deal for a laptop with these specs. If it was for me, I would have bought it (in fact, I tried very hard to talk myself into to buying it…but I just don’t need one more laptop). I didn’t feel right buying a display for someone else to give as a gift.
I’d look for one of these if you’re in the laptop market.
