Amazing Laptop Prices Options

I wasn't too stunned when seeing laptop prices drop like bricks this year except when I saw this machine appear like magic on best buy's shelves this month:

While I realize this computer doesn't have the highest resolution (1366 x 768), it's a ridiculous bargain for 900.00 dollars. A laptop with as much juice as this one would have cost 1700-2000 dollars only two months ago.

Not really... for that price I was expecting a 17" not 15".

Of course I'm basing this off of the economic issue at hand. I've seen similar stats on 17" Laptops for even cheaper price ($600-$760-ish)

For a laptop its great but id rather make my own desktop with that money.
But I agree that laptop prices have plummeted!

I agree, I would much rather have a desktop. I have no need for a laptop.

I could care less about screen size. It's a laptop. I want it to be portable. 15"-15.6" is a good compromise between mobility and size. However, speaking of the screen. It's only a WXGA(1366 x 768). I guess it will do. I'd really like full 1080p, but at the 900 dollar price point I can't complain.

Anyway, it's not the screen I'm talking about. Look at the video card, mobile NV9800. It's unheard of to find a laptop with a dedicated graphics card like that under 1500 dollars.
