@junky77, This is for my GF who is getting into gaming again. I just want her to have a good deal. Should I wait for a better coupon code? So I can upgrade to a little bit better. I would be willing to do 800$ if that means I can come up with a good Asus gaming laptop. I know quite a few people who have them and enjoy them.
