ya the lappy's with the nvidia 4xx cards are expensive= $1200 and up with the exception of the Samsung. Hence I am waiting for someone who has one to chime in and give there experience with it.
It's an awesome laptop IMO. But he said his budget is 700$, so I brought him the list of the laptops in his price range. If he can afford that, IMO, it'll be a great purchase and should satisfy him.
