Looks like the best 17" i7 Sandybridge under $1,000 that I've seen that's not an Acer or HP
Features:
i72630QM
17.3" (resolution should be 1600x900)
8GG DDR3
1.5TB HDD
GT540M 1GB Video
Blu-Ray Combo Drive
Wireless N
0.3M Camera
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
Should also note that shipping is not included (it was $18 to the ACT) and it's $10 extra for insurance and there's a 2% surcharge for credit cards and paypal.
0.3 Megapixles?
Guys, is this any good?
Well, for the same or similar specs I can't find anything that will be under $1,000 unless it's HP or Acer, both of which I won't touch.
I was hoping Dell had some better boxing day deals but unfortunately it wasn't to be :(
Saw that but now it's $999 rather than $1,198
What a horrible resolution on a 17"! I have a Vaio from 2006 that has 1920 x 1200 in 17".
And how much more did you pay for it at that time?
A higher resolution is not always desirable on a small display. Some people might prefer 1600 x 900. Once you go any higher screen elements get very small. So it's not horrible, just usable for a lot of people (where FullHD would not be).

I bought one of this range (an i5 one) a few months ago for a client - very nice laptop. Nice bronze coloured aluminium (I'm guessing by the title this one must be silver). Well finished. Good for business or home use, not a screaming gamer. The webcam is ok, despite its low resolution (problem is you have to tilt the screen down a bit to get in the picture).
A few weeks ago I bought the Acer one from Online Computers that was on Ozbargain for $899 and it was ok specs/price wise, but a strange blue colour and plastic.
what is 0-3 camera?
