Toshiba Satellite P200D-132 which looks to have a very good price/performance ratio....its "only" $890 and the specs

Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2x 2.00GHz ? 2048MB (2x 1024MB) ? 320GB (2x 160GB) ? DVD+/-RW DL ? ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 256MB max.1024MB shared memory ? 6x USB 2.0/FireWire/Modem/LAN/WLAN 802.11bg ? ExpressCard Slot ? 6in1 Card Reader (SD/SD IO/MMC/MS/MS Pro/xD) ? 17" WXGA+ glare TFT (1440x900) ? Windows Vista Home Premium ? Li-Ionen-Akku ? 3.45kg ? 24 Monate

So...my GF is a gamer so i think the HD 2600 should be plenty, and also the 320GB HD space are great. I dont understand why other notebooks are so much more expensive, like EU 2500...she certainly doesnt need a SLI Geforce 8700 and similar. So i am looking for the catch why the above notebook is so cheap but i cant see one.
(The former lappy she had was a satellite too so we think it should be great)

If you have another alternative pelase LMK

Edit: She is a gamer but mostly plays old games So..the notebook should be capable of playing stuff like CivIV, maybe WoW etc..etc..but it doesnt need to break records in Crysis etc. because she probably wont play such ultra high-end games.

If I was going to get something for a girl, I don't think I'd go for a 17". But all in all, it looks fine.

If you want a few choices for smaller, but equally powerful notebooks:
There is this one: The Asus F3 - pretty much the same specs (excluding HDD), but it's a 15.4" notebook: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16834220286 ($950)
If you feel like spending a little over $1k, you coudl get the Asus F8 - 14.1" and the same specs (excluding HDD): http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16834220240

Go for it if she is able to carry 17" notebook.
