Bummer!. On the bright side you will get a new one that will perform better for that kind of money.
CL has Tosh and Asus.

I would go for this notebook: http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=13121AND then since it has 2x HDD's remove one of them and stick in a SSD :D The SSD i would add would be the Intel 160GB SO total it would come to $3199 + $749 = $3948 Incl GST That would give you pretty much the quickest notebook in NZ :D

I looked into that particular machine on the ASUS website and was quite impressed ( I really liked the cooling setup at the back its GROUCE :) )
I also looked at the Toshiba Qosmio X500/02G
It turns out I paid $4299.99 for my X200 but when i insured it i did only for $4k cant really remember y?
So now I have to wait on the Insurance company to let me know the final verdict as to what I can do as it seams theres 2 types of policies and im not too sure which one i have.

Good choices there Revogamer but as usual a few questions.
Does the Graphics matter in performance wise they both have 1gb but ones ATI and the other Nvidia?
You have sold me on 1 of em but im not to sure which, I am more interested in the ASUS K72JR-A1 17.3" with the bigger screen but again graphics? and the colour brown any other choices?
sry to be a pain but I gurantee a purchase at the end (Have to wait for insurance payout though which is mid next week)

They will be similar speed graphics wise, The 17" just has a larger and higher resolution monitor :D
