Saturday is not a business day for newegg, depending on your location and which warehouse it ships from, you may recieve it in two days though.

Bestbuy is wrong, they will say stuff like that just so you buy a "better"(more expensive) notebook. Only thing decent about bestbuy is the prices on notebooks, the salespeople there are idiots.

They're not. They were even courtious enough to open it up and show us it and everythin. Anyways this is the laptop i got because it has a better video card, more ram, bigger screen, and it only weighs a pound more. And i also i got a cooling pad to cool it down

That has the same gpu, except also alot of gpu overheating problems. The cpu in the G51 is upgradeable, see here:

Specifically this:


Notice the screw there? That is the cpu socket, nothing soldered there^^^

The only part soldered is the gpu here:

The only cpu's on any notebook that even come soldered on is the netbooks that have intel atom cpu's in them.

5)AVG free
6)Avira anti virus free
7)COMODO anti virus

Should only run one antivirus, and should start your own threads. Basically all you need is avira, comodo firewall, hijackthis, malwarebytes, and peerguardian.

For a $2000 budget, you can really get an awesome laptop. Try shopping around online like at newegg. They are cheaper than most places I know.

They both have a GTX260M, Same video card. Also, the one you puchased, according to reviews, is prone to the gpu overheating.

The one we bought turned out to be defective. soon as i installed halo 2 and shot one bullet it gave me a blue screen and crashed. The sales people convinced me back to a comp. vs. lappy. Should i start a new thread or use my old one?

Dont buy a computer from bestbuy, thats for sure. If you go for a desktop, build it yourself. And that computer wasnt "defective", it was probably the overheating common on that model.

We bought a laptop cooling pad, and a high end one at that. Should i go back to my old thread where we talked about the comp.?
