This laptop seems like a really good deal. I was customizing one and now I think I might get one!

What do you guys think? is the memory any good can that video card handle the latest games?

Thx in advance.

It'd seem a little steep for a desktop, but im sure that will be an awesome laptop. I'm guessing the OS is Vista. I reminder though, that card will play the newest games, not max them

Anyway, have fun with it. (If you get it)

Yes it is Vista. My dad and I are still discussing to either get a desktop (not pre built) or a laptop.

Since I am in university for information technology, I know the laptop will be fine for the programming aspects but would it be able to handle 3d programs like maya?
I was hoping I will be able to play the latest games on high with it...damn lol.
