I've got (well my mate has) a 3 month old Benq S57 used laptop which retails for $2,125.25 on expert infotech
similarly speced minus the blu ray drive and with a smaller hard drive
But with a wireless card with wireless N capability and double the ammount of ram

$1599 buy it now if you mention geekzone
not to mention the Ati Mobility 4650 is superior to the laptop versions of the 9600gt and 9700gt
