I see this is $899 on amazon. I paid $490 (after taxes) in Arizona today for this (bestbuy). It doesn't have USB 3.0 ports, webcam isn't the best, but besides that, it is an AWESOME laptop if you can find it cheaper. I shop on Amazon for everything, but for some weird reason I have found that if it comes down to laptops, both walmart and bestbuy always have better prices. Would you pay $899 (plus shipping) for this item when you could get it for $490? Anyways, I haven't used it for gaming but it does have AMD quad core processor and an AMD Radeon graphics card. I leave my gaming to my PS3 and XBox but I would surmise that this could handle the latest games if you disable certain quality levels in the game like shading, and the like.All in all, the 17" screen, quad core processor, media card reader, HDMI port, webcam, 500 GB hard drive, and price sold me on this model today after my loyal Compaq Presario died after 3 years of service. Kudos to the Compaq though, I paid $377 for it 3 years ago at best buy and it set a standard that I hope this notebook will live up to and exceed.
