So, after trying to stay at $1000.00, this is what I just ordered:

Lenovo Y580
-------------------------
i7-3630
GTX660M
8GB RAM
15.6" Full HD resolution
1 TB (no SSD component - I'll put in later)
BluRay Combo drive
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200BGN
Intgrated HD Camera
3 yr Warranty + Accidental Damage Protection
---------------------------------------------------------
$1071.73


Can I get some feel-good approvals? =) Thanks.

More about : price

If that i7 isn't a QM then it's a dual core CPU... the 660m isn't a horrible graphics chip, but it's not amazing either.

Does "full HD resolution" mean 1080p or 720? My guess is it's the second, which means the 660m should hold it's own fairly well.

You paid about what it is worth. I make it a point to never pay what something is worth. So if you're happy with it that is all that matters. I paid about $150 less for basically the same laptop, but with better battery life and a 900p screen. (Samsung np700z5c-s02u) It will play bf3 on high, so forget the guy who said the 660m isn't great. Not all of us can afford 680m's.
