    I'd buy that QUICK!

    If you need a laptop of course. Hell, I'd buy it if I had the cash on hand.

    Sony 17" laptops are almost as expensive as MacBook Pros, just to give you an idea of the price. The video card is likely to be a 7600 or 8400 (don't see it mentioned) buy you could probably just flip it on ebay for 1200+ if you don't like it.

    Convince me to buy it. Why do I need to spring 650 just so I can play Crysis at Starbucks?

    I really would like it but I think I would be better served updating my desktop. If it came with the disks for Vista and I really wanted to jump on that platform I would be sold.

    I wonder why the guy is selling it for half off? The nearest matches I can find on eBay and Best Buy are going for 1200 to 1500 bucks.

    Never mind, looks like it sold.
