i have an alienware m15x laptop, gtx 260m card, i7 720qm quad at 1.7, turbos to 3.2, the one they have is a dual core) and 6gb ram and it cost less then half. the only thing semi-unique about this is the fact it has 2 ssd drives... but i dont see how that in any way justifies the insane cost. | ||

Any for people talking about "having to fit" 2 SSD in a laptop, have you ever seen the size of one? It's pretty small. Nah it's just all the crap software every laptop manufacturer loads onto their default image that brings it up to this  | ||

EDIT: also you can switch between 330m to the graphics on the i5 chip (integrated) and get around 4-5 hours battery life with little heat | ||

Very quite, very fast, and very cool. Don't get me wrong, my Vaio is a great computer, but in less than 2 years it has failed on 3 separate parts, and the GPU has failed twice. I've had to pay ~$200 just for the repairs and it's still under warranty. Soon it won't be, and I'll be screwed. Also, they do run quite hot. | ||

Sorry for stealing your thread but don't really want to open a new thread for this. http://livehotdeals.com/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Y460p-Laptop_61554 Is that the best laptop spec for it's price? Or is there a better spec laptop with a price like that? The coupon expires tonight so someone who knows about laptops please tell me. | ||

Ahh.... a processor isn't important. Dont bother!:D But yeah, the laptop is so much because of the SSD, screen, and size. Overall it is nothing special, and is MOST DEFINITELY overpriced. | ||

Assert, before buying the vaio z i was looking at the previous version of that laptop. i think that for the price that is really good deal but the previous generation did have heat problems just like my laptop does now. i think if you can deal with high gpu temps that is a good laptop. | ||

The Vaio Z is an ultraportable that happens to be extremely powerful. The Asus is a desktop replacement, the complete opposite of an ultraportable. I would never lug around a desktop replacement to all of my classes, and I don't know why any person with a desktop or who isn't a hardcore gamer [wannabe] would choose the Asus over a weaker but more portable (and a lot more stylish) alternative. I personally dislike laptops without metal finishes. The Asus also has terrible battery life, which can be a dealbreaker for a lot of people such as students. People who buy the Vaio Z consider the 13 in screen to be a pro, not a con. The 17in is actually a huge con for the target market of the Vaio Z, which is business professionals seeking a premium ultraportable that is convenient to travel with as well as powerful enough to work from. | ||
