You guys were right, I did sell my laptop, lol. I decided to buy a laptop at Best Buy instead which has much better specs for gaming, and was cheaper! Honestly, Newegg doesn't have great deals on laptops.
Old Specs:
Core 2 Duo T9300 (2.5GHz/800MHz Bus/6MB)
Intel PM965
3GB DDR2 667
400GB (2x 200GB) 7200RPM HD
Dual 512MB 8600M GT's SLI
17" LCD @ 1680x1050
6000mAh Battery
New Specs:
Core 2 Duo P8400 (2.26GHz/1066MHz Bus/3MB)
Intel PM45
4GB DDR3 800
200GB 7200RPM HD
512MB GDDR3 9800M GTS
17" LCD @ 1920x1200
7800mAh Battery
You may be wondering why I "traded". My Newegg laptop cost $1,800, and the Best Buy laptop cost $1,450. The Best Buy laptop has a much better battery, the Toshiba only lasts about 1 hour and 20 minutes, while the Gateway lasts about 3 hours. The Gateway also gets several thousand points more in 3DMark06 and is much better in games, not to mention it looks uber sweet!
