I'm sure I'll get killed over the 17" laptop thing (I love mine so far) but Gateway has a fucking ridiculous deal going on with BB atm.

Nothing online comes close to that deal.

It depends how mobile you really want to be. I only take my laptop with me once or twice a week, so I don't mind.

that is ridiculous. but i dont play games much else i would have gotten that.

Yeah. The most shocking thing to me isn't the video card, but the screen. 1920 x 1200 on a laptop costs a LOT.

I don't know much about Gateway laptops but:

But mobility-wise, I need to take my laptop to lectures every day so a 17 inch laptop just won't work for me.

Nice thinking. I have a 6860 and the cooling has been fantastic so far, but it's obviously a less powerful rig, and I hadn't thought about cooling on the new one.

I guess that 9800GTS and the 7200 rpm HD are really adding a lot of extra heat to the machine.

I think the main problem was that there is no ventilation for the HD.

That laptop gives some really weird temps. Super low cpu idle temp and super high HD temp. Complete opposite of my Sager lol

Yeah, it's one of the reasons I'm glad this computer has a 5400rpm hd. Still, that 9800GTS is wicked.

There was a 30% off $1000+ coupon for hp laptop that just expired a few days ago. Combine that with free 3gb ram, 250gb hard drive, wireless draft n upgrade, you have a great deal. It seems like hp has good coupon deals every 2 weeks.

Upgrading to a 9700M GT is first of all impossible in this laptop and there's no 15.4 inch laptop with the 9700 afaik.

Not really the Asus g50v has a 9700GT and its a mainstream laptop.
