If there’s any money from the national government, there’s always strings attached. like how fast the CPU can go, how much hard drive space you may have, etc…

I just got the 1099 version like 2 days ago, but have you seen it now lol, its 1199 now, god damn it! I wish they would tell us when a new price drop is incoming before we order!

The reason i got the cheapest one is because i want to upgrade it myself

Just bought this from the Dell UK site, the middle version for £1,299, great deal, the sale ends on the 2/09/09 then it bumps back to £1,700! No way was I paying that. There’s been some nice standard upgrades on the hardware since this video was made too

Obama should make it so 700 billion goes towards everyone having a kickass laptop to take their mind of the insane taxes we will be paying.

get ASUS W90Vp-X1 from newegg for $2,200

some features includes:
Intel T9600 @ 2.8ghz…overclockable to 4ghz, and most important…ATI 4870 X2….yes, finally comes in a laptop. 6gb of DDR2 ram, 320gb 7200rpm HD. 18.4in 1080p screen. All for $2200 from newegg. This to me is the ultimate laptop for really good price.

the ATI 4780 x2 is right on par with GTX 295 desktop GPU. I heard rumors that Asus will soon release W90 will sport a intel QX9300 overclockable to 4ghz, 3Dmark06=21k
