Opinions on this laptop?
Just wondering how this laptop is? I know BestBuy is pricey, but I have a gift card that I can put towards the purchase.

The specs are nice but the last few reviews aren't great.

Well you wont be able to play games, most of them, that's for sure. Also for 3rd gen i7 the 600 is ok, but with a gift card it can be a good choice.

I agree with the above post. Don't expect to play decent games with an integrated graphics card, but for the price it's decent.

Haha, considering I don't even know what kind of games you guys are talking about, I don't think the gaming part of it will affect me.

I'll be using it mainly for school, streaming videos, and potentially Adobe Captivate 5.5 or Articulate to create a web module.

I'm trying desperately to figure out what is wrong with it.. price seems too good to be true
(apart from graphics card)

Me too, I figured something wasn't right.

Check the same model on other sites, TigerDirect, NCIX, NewEgg, etc.... They keep the reviews whether they are positive or negative.
