    Are they any good? I'm looking at purchasing one in about a week. I currently have a Toshiba Satellite with horrible memory and onboard video. The thing has been giving me hell accomplishing the simple things in a computer life (multiple IE Windows, Running more than one program). For the most part I am kind of stepping out of the full computer scene. Hate having to sit stationary to accomplish anything. This Laptop is gonna be a psuedo replacement for the most part while I am in College. The specs look good for Mid-ranged gaming as well (I play CoH and WoW) and my roomate has this laptop and it even runs Oblivion/City of Heroes/World of Warcraft well. What do you guys think?

    Note on the specs. When I did a Dxdiag at the store, the Video Card's memory read 256 dedicated 256 shared (As opposed to the 128 shared 128 dedicated on the page). I'de imagine there was a way to get the full 512 decidated instead of half? My roomate says on of the store employees did it for him.
