Everyone please note, I bought this, that means I payed my parents back for my two side monitors and had enough income to purchase this as well.

I'll do an unboxing video for you guys, do you want it live?
And yet you got the shittier of the two upper end ones while not only skimping on the i7 CPU, but also getting the GTX260 over the HD5850. Is the inflation of price due to CAD vs. USD that bad or is there some special item in your laptop that is causing it to skyrocket to over $2700 that I'm missing? That same laptop configured like that costs $2100 here. I don't know about you, but a $600 premium seems like a load of horse shit to me especially for Canadian currency. $2700 gets you an M17x with an HD5870/HD4870 X2 and an i7 quad core CPU. I'd be pretty mad if I were you.

Still, it's a pretty nice laptop. I just wouldn't be able to justify spending almost three grand on a laptop half as good as what a three grand laptop actually is.
