same here, sony seem to overprice their stuff and it break down as easily as an HP

Quote from blackflag486 : The i5 version of this was $550 a montho or so ago. But for an i7, that's a fancy deal! For $659 you will NOT find something with better resolution. What.. You want 1080p? Laff .. GTHO TROLL!

Seems I have far more posts/reps/intelligence than you sir. I am typing on this:

Any deals on a time machine?

Just says Pre-release for me with an option to get notifications. Does that mean Newegg ran out of stock?

You win. I must now end my life! Thanks a lot... Einstein!...

Pre-Release? I think that means they're going to be coming out with a new product to replace the old one.

Also, that is a Dell.. Not even in the same league as Lenovo/IBM... In my non Einsteinish opinion of course!

Very good deal , i bought one with 8G memory and 1TB half year before, but the price almost $800

lol. I respect and quote Einstein but have never claimed to be him. But I am a genius ! I am a computer scientist, not a physicist. With computers, I know my sh*t!!! As "THE COMPUTER MAN" I'm sure I don't need to tell you how frustrating low resolution is when trying to write computer code (C++, Java, HTML...). Also, I have 100+ machines to manage. Using remote desktop on a machine that has a higher resolution than mine is EXTREMELY frustrating. Adjusting their resolution to match mine would ruin the users icon placement. Those are two of the main reasons a computer with <1080p is useless to me. The fact that you can't even enjoy a 1080p game/movie is irrelevant to me, but sad that anyone should be denied that. LED/LCD panels are cheap. 1080p should be standard by now. 7+ years ago 1920x1200 was becoming standard! Things are going backwards.

Regarding Dell vs. Lenovo, I hear that chant all the time. However, I've owned/operated a computer sales/service store for the past 20 years and have used/owned/repaired countless systems of all brands. My experience has been FANTASTIC with Dell! Lenovo has a better build quality for sure. Their laptops feel more solid and well built. Dell likes to build cheap and use plastic. But, they hold up fine and for what matters to me (performance/reliability), they are every bit as good as any other brand. So I would agree that Lenovo is a little better if you beat the hell out of your laptops and cost is not a concern. But, "a whole different league"? Hardly!

Lastly, aren't prices supposed to increase with time?

For what you do, you should be using $6k laptops.. What are you doing looking at bargain bin prices!??!

its back in stock

Three days after receiving this my touchpad went out, and my keyboard won't work after booting the computer unless I put it hibernation mode first. I'm not sure about the keyboard but the touchpad seems to be a very common issue. Lenovo was no help, now I get to deal with Newegg's return policy... You have been warned, I actually liked this computer before it developed these issues.

Got this for my dad last time around. He hates windows 8, of course, but otherwise, he loves the laptop.

Still $659.99 so not a dead deal and a pretty good price considering the specs AND it has a dedicated video card.

Got this the last time it was this price. Don't like Windows 8, but laptop seems good so far.

It says in the detailed specs that the max RAM is listed at 8GB but I upgraded to 16GB without issue.

It even says in the lenovo support application on this computer that the max is 16 GB, so I'm not sure why they list that as the max supported on newegg.

10/100M ethernet, Atheros AR8162... This makes the laptop useless for many things..... A realtek PCIE Gigabit NIC doesn't cost much....
