Nice computer, but the weight makes it just warm for me. Good price for a high-powered laptop though.

 

Also, this computer is going to be $900 AR at OfficeDepot this week: Link to FW thread

Here's the A55-S3061 offer at Office Depot. Says available in-store only.

Don't know if you can PM as CompUSA one (A55-S306) has WinXP Home and OD one (A55-S3061)has WinXP Pro.

And unfortunately, not at all stores. Like many weeks in Nyc, the Office Depot site states "No Current In-Store Specials At This Location".

Did chuckle at the Capital Circle location, however.
