    I would like to briefly share my experience with PowerNotebooks.com.

    After considering buying a gaming laptop for several months, and then moving to another state to start technical school for the military, I finally decided to go ahead with a purchase. Upon reading numerous favorable reviews of PowerNotebooks, I proceeded to inquire about pricing and ultimately buying a laptop. I was surprised to see that my initial question was responded to in a matter of minutes, and that the correspondence after that was incredibly swift.

    I called during office hours the next day and finalized my purchase. Overall, I could not be more satisfied with PowerNotebooks. You can really tell that the staff are more than willing to help and take the time to personally deal with each customer. The individual I spoke to worked with me all the way from my first inquiry to my purchase.

    Here are the specifications for the Sager NP8170 I bought.
    -17.3” Full HD (1920x1080) Super Clear Glossy LED-Backlit Display
    -AMD Radeon HD 6990M 256bit w/2GB GDDR5
    -Intel® Core™ i7-2860QM (2.5~3.6GHz) w/8M L3 Cache - 4 Cores - 8 Threads
    -Sager Thermal Compound
    -8GB (2x4GB SODIMMS) DDR3/1600 Dual Channel Memory (Intel® i7-2630QM and up Required)
    -120GB Intel® 510 Series SATA III Solid-State Drive (includes FREE Battlefield 3)
    -6x Blu-Ray Reader/8x Super Multi Combo Drive
    -7-in-1 Memory Card Reader (All versions of MS + SD/MMC)
    -Built-in Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300 Wireless Card
    -8 Cell Smart Lithium-Ion Battery 76.96Wh
    -Full Range 220W Auto Switching AC Adapter
    -Standard Carrying Case
    -1-Year Parts and Shipping plus Lifetime Labor and 24/7 DOMESTIC Toll Free Support (Labor & Support paid by PNB)

    I would definitely recommend going to PowerNotebooks.com if you are considering getting a gaming laptop.
