$429.99 Acer Aspire AS5560G AMD Quad-Core A6-3400M, 4GB, 500GB HDD, 15.6" from Tiger Direct
 

I was looking for a new laptop and found this one at Tiger Direct [tigerdirect.com].

$429.99 + free shipping

Yes it's and Acer, and yes it's Tiger Direct, but it seems like a good price for the specs.

BTW, CompUSA [compusa.com] and Circuit City [circuitcity.com] have it for the same price (I'm pretty sure all three of them are the same company).

No tax in CA. How long does the free econoship take? Is it reasonable to expect that their ground option for about $10 is going to be any faster?

Good price for gamer. If you dont game, get other brands at a cheaper price but no dedicated graphic.

Great price for a quad core! with an external GPU that can work in hybrid crossfire! repped :D

Even though it is not available anymore, how does this compare to this one here as far as the GPU goes:
