Just bought this laptop on 8/14/10 and really like it. It's got a great screen, blue ray player with HDMI out (meaning you can run your HD tv off this laptop), plenty of power and a lightweight frame. I spent a while researching laptops and found this one to be the biggest bang for the buck (and people at CNET agree: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/samsung-np-r580-jsb1us/4505-3121_7-33974719.html).
Only problem: I need a mac for my new job. Fail.
I bought it for $750 from BestBuy, plus the warranty, geek squad support, MS Security Essentials and MS Office Professional 2010. It's good as new (except I removed all the plastic junk covering everything, clearly).
Please let me know if you'd like to come look at it. I live just off campus in College Terrace. Please only reach out if you're seriously interested.
