MERGED QUESTION Question from cbay : "Pulled the trigger, did i do ok?" Needed a good laptop for photo/video editing and looked at a bunch of them. Didn't want to wait all year for a deal to pop up. Plus it seems like everytime i saw a better price there were variants on the model such as...

Awesome! Congrats and glad it worked out for you.

Hard to pull the trigger when i saw decent specs for $750-800 and now they are all back upwards of a $1,000. With AMD's new chip out does anyone think this is going to bring down laptop prices as well? Or is it just a cyclical thing where you need to have your choices ready and jump when a sale...
