    Got a couple of questions:

    1) If my laptop was ordered on monday & I was told I would get it in 1-1/2 weeks, is there a slight chance I may get it on friday.

    2) I could only afford to get the matte screen, is that still good for games (WOW, Company of heroes, etc.)

    Thanks in advanced. I am really excite to get my new laptop and will add a signature listing my laptop spec's in the near future. :D

    1. Highly dependent on parts availability and shipping. It is highly likely though that you will receive your system before the expected ship date.
    2. The glossy screen is more reflective. Depends on what you prefer, but in the end, the image quality shouldn't be different.

    I'll tell you now that if you order it on a monday, you will 99.9% not receive it on Friday. Especially if you didn't get NBD shipping. (next business day)

    I ordered it through work so I'm not sure what shipping type I got.
