I believe this is one of the lowest prices in a while for a Dell Studio laptop with HDMI out.

cold. I'd rather go for HP. HP has a similar model for 700+.

Dell is Hell. You can never expect any good deal from them, atleast on laptops. No wonder they are losing their market share to HP.

Link?..

well, this one is 799. I remember I saw one at 749 yesterday. Maybe I was looking at another one.

Anyway, I might pick up one in US. It is much cheaper there.

See this one.

You're going to compare integrated graphics card to a good dedicated one?
Sorry but no.

I knew the difference. Is this dedicated video card worth 200+?

[liquor]

I wouldnt call it a deal but hey, 869$ for C2D laptop with dedicated graphics is really not bad:

Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T6600 (2.2GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
15.6” High Definition (720p) LED Display with TrueLife™ and Camera
4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 800MHz
Speed: 500GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) with Free Fall Sensor
256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570
8X Slot Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive)
56 Whr Lithium Ion Battery (6 cell)
Dell 1510 Wireless-N Card

Supermike: Give us a link to something better in 700-800$ range ...

The one I listed above in US bestbuy. It's only US $549. The only difference I can see is a smaller hard drive and a integrated video card. But moneywise, it is a better deal. I might just pick up one in Buffalo or somewhere near.

First off it's a 69 dollar difference from the futureshop.ca link you gave.

And yes, it's more than worth it.

well, I said I saw 749 yesterday. Maybe I was looking at a wrong one.

Anyway, you think " it's more than worth it", I think IT IS NOT WORTH IT. I don't play games on a laptop. Why I spend hundreds of more $$$$?

Your opinion can't be anymore subjective. This deal is probably decent at best to most people, but obviously not you. I assume most people would do some light gaming. So I don't understand why you feel the need to prove it's not a good deal based on your needs.

I don't know how you feel about Gateway, but you might want to look at this one for $679.

Last week they had a similarly configured and priced Gateway with an ATI card instead of the Nvidia. I have no idea which is better.

My friends have had nothing but horrible experiences with HP. Their build quality has gone down the crapper =/ I'd stick with Dell.
