I made these decisions based on equal parts of cost and longevity, coming in at $1214.00. So whatcha guys think?

Opinions are much appreciated.

That doesn't seem like a bad deal at all on a laptop. Good Job I say.

I probably would have gone for the 8600M GT, but otherwise that's pretty much a good laptop.

Were it for me, I would have gone for the better graphics card, but its for my girlfriend, and she doesn't like games really, nothing graphically intense anyways.

Thanks for the feedback guys/gals.
