Press releases are always full of bullcrap. The $1699 price tag was probably just to test the waters. Bumping it up by $200 'just because' is for the suckers who bought into the hype. Give it a couple of months an they will have a sale on advertising a $200 price drop. The Heat ain't stoopid ya know ^^ @-=$tr|k3r=-

I had to RMA returned this item, since the specifications ae not as advertised.... read my NewEgg reviews. My purchase was for $1,699.-, and NewEgg has since raised the price to $1,899-. I feel it is an over-statement and marketing hype to label this laptop as a 'gaming rig', due to the limitations of the NVIDIA 9700M GT. Though more costly, better solutions would be the 9800M series, or ATi's Mobility 3870/4870 series. For gaming, a system will only perform as well as it's graphic solution, and there are several C2D's that will outperform the Q9000 processor. I purchased this Acer model from NewEgg.com:

The MSI GT627 joins this esteemed (IMHO) band of brothers and although it’s not the brains of the group, it’s no runt either.

I tried calling Acer HQ, Best Buy, and Newegg.com and their respective customer services, but they just gave me the run around. Any help in helping me locate a place to buy this laptop would be great, thanks.
