I am buying from Sam's which have 6 month return policy. I will use it, in case I will decide to return Laptop and get something better.

Ok price (if comparing with Laptop specs) ?

thats a pretty good deal you found over there.
You do know 17" is HUGE and HEAVY.

What are you planning on using this laptop for?

Well the thing I like about 17" Laptops is that they have full keyboard.

And... I probably will use it mostly at home. But just something more poratrable.
Well maybe college too. But I am not sure about that.

The use/s basic staff.
Office works, like word, programming, chatting... etc

I might install Blender on it..
Also most likely will install Linux on this computer.

Gaming: not so much, I don't think I will have anything on it actually. Maybe just some simple stuff, nothing new.. or whatever. I have computer for gaming.

If you aren't going to be gaming or anything really graphics intensive (Lots of Photoshop or Digital Video Editing), I would say this laptop fits pretty well with what you need it to do.
