Holy crap, thats so expensive. I have an E1505 with a 2GHz Core2, 2GB RAM, X1400, Bluetooth, Wireless A, Remote, 9 Cell battery (6 hrs) which I bought a year and half ago and it only cost me 1300 + the 300 extra 4 year warranty.
Look around at these:

and:

Let me know what you choose. I just feel that the laptop from Newegg is waaaaay too overpriced. The video card isn't that great either (considering that the ones I sent you have 8800s in them)
Also try to get XP if you can. Vista sucks.

Your links are just to their site without the laptop being configured, @ $1400 its absolute garbage, to customize it to have whats in that asus it costs around $4500 from alienware. I agree that i need to get XP though, vista is trash.

You probably work for dell or some shit

If you want help from us Ocean23, you need to have a more polite attitude.
That aside, the laptop you posted is a pretty decent deal, it has a very powerful CPU, the Graphics card is good, and it has plenty of RAM. With any luck you could get that and slap XP on it instead of Vista, but you'd have to check with Asus on that first.
It uses the 17" 1920x1200 screen and has decent gaming PC-grade components. I'd say the Asus is a no brainer, nice find!

You could, but you need to make sure you can find all the requisite drivers. Try grabbing all the ones you need of the Asus site and putting them on a CD or external storage of some kind.
