ASUS N56VZ-RB71 Core i7-3610QM, 8GB DDR3, GT 650M, 15.6" 1920x1080, 750 GB 7200RPM HDD, Blu-ray $999 @ Microcenter

I saw this deal this morning and wanted to share. This is my first deal post, so please resist the urge to flog me or point out how my mother never loved me. No previous posts found as of the time I'm writing this using all variations that I can think of.

$1149 MSRP - $150 = $999 In-Store and it looks like shipping is $20 as well if you prefer.

Tax may kill this deal for some.
