I suggest a Newegg open box(when they pop up) G73sw for $899+free shipping. Add a 128gb SSD and you have a very fast, nice machine that runs VERY cool. I already had my SSD, but one you ditch the stock Win 7 install with all the bloatware and the meh 500gb HDD, the G73 is quite potent. I prefer the old style laptop keyboards rather than the raised chicklet-style, but that's pretty much my only gripe. I'd also suggest one for the new price, but I opted for an open box simply to save money...
