I bought this laptop from Tiger Direct.
Did a lot of research on laptops and decided on this machine. Was going to buy it from Amazon yesterday. Then in the afternoon I checked their site and it went from $1,599.00 to the current price of $1,749.99. Quite a price jump. Had also been checking other sites...Tiger Direct for one. Their price stayed steady at $1,499.99 with free shipping. Couldn't pass that up, so I ordered from them. Will check back with my opinion of the machine after I have had it for a while. But my advice: check other sites and check them often. As long as they are reputable, well known sellers and have the best price...go for it.
Wish I could give less than one star.

Was extremely excited about this laptop and couldn't wait for it to arrive in the mail. It finally came and I decided to test it out after I got all my updates. So I installed Crysis only to be disappointed that it would freeze 3-10 minutes after starting the game. Tried Bioshock 1 and the same thing happened. Couldn't find any updates for the video card or the bios so decieded to do a system recovory just to see if it would help. Same thing happened also the USB ports stopped working giving a Code 43 error. I spent a few days talking to Toshiba about it trying to resolve the issue when they said it was a hardware problem and to send it in. Got it back a week and a half later only to be VERY disappointed and GREATLY angered to find that all they did was a system recovory and sent it back saying USB ports work good. NOPE!! USB ports do not work, still giving a Code 43 error AND now my web camera no longer works. It came back WORST than when I sent it to them. Cannot wait until Monday (when their customer service opens) so I can return this $1600, 10 lbs, pile of crap.
Pros: Good speakers and great looking screen.
Cons: Pretty much everything, refer to the above paragraph.
Would never recommend that anyone purchase this laptop, unless you like headaches and feeling very angry.
