Hi

You DONT buy a Laptop for gaming ...you buy a gaming PC...

All the best Brett

Toshiba Qosmio X770/X775 17.3-in Core i5 Laptop w/1.5GB GeForce 560M $980 and free shipping

How about watching dvd's?

Umm..my netbook can watch 2 full length dvd movies and have battery left. Of course, thats with the brightness down and wifi off.

Anyhow, I doubt you'll find a laptop in that size for that price (that can game). And note that the mobile 560M does NOT equal the desktop 560, let alone the 560 ti. See the gpu hierarchy at the end of the most recent 'Best GPU for the money' article.

Presumably he knows that - and you're wrong. There are laptops that can blow "$500 gaming pc"s that you see on here all the time out of the water. Crossfired cards and all. They're just pricey.

Never said they were dollar for dollar equal - and what is a gaming PC varies greatly from person to person, it doesn't have to be $2k. You see a lot of attempts to make "gaming PCs" in the $500-600 as the quarterly SBM exemplifies. There are laptops that can match/beat those.

You must not sell many PCs if you either a.) only sell 580s/7970s or b.) overcharge that much for anything else Based on some of your other responses on threads, I'd say it's a brand new company that you've started there and you have something to learn (or you work for someone else's "my company"?)

I've been in IT for a long long time - you can nearly always get what you want, you just have to pay for it. Sometimes a lot.

if it comes back in stock...
