Never had any issues at all. I don't mind if something is factory refurbished to save 50% off the cost. call me crazy

The processor on this laptop negates the whole gaming video card thingy, vista with a c2d 1.86 is painful. Processor is equally important as video card, if not more. 3. As someone who has a 10lbs gaming laptop, my advice goes with previous advice in this thread. Make a kick ass desktop for half the money buy a netbook. All the gaming laptop gets you is an "easier" to move lan box that you can't fix or upgrade. A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. Douglas Adams
