kudos:1 | Another update:
They reduced the price on the laptop by $150 keeping up the $100 mail in rebate. so you can get this laptop now for $1400 after rebates and discounts.
It also comes with a free xbox if you can get a .edu email address.

kudos:1 | For the original price I got the laptop plus some other parts I needed. The SSD was purchased separately on a different sale.
Thank you Antonica, Archivis and Blockfire for helping me out.

kudos:1 | LOL! Moral support is always appreciated.
@Rifle, I had some issues installing the SSD last night mostly because you don't get a windows installation disk or a recovery cd, all the recovery disks are partitioned into the HD, you can build recovery dvd's out of those partitions too.
I had to mount an image of windows on the hdd (daemon tools) with the ssd connected as "slave" and install windows on that drive then I deleted the partitions for data since it also separates OS and Data into different partions to get a big one.
Now I renamed the SSD partition the same as the old OS install partition and ran the recovery tool from the BIOS (F3) to install all the drivers and software directly from MSI hidden partitions.
So far has been working just fine, I need to get used to the new keyboard since it is full sized and the enter key is the small ones.
Other than the lack of ieasier nstallation tools the laptop has been working just fine. Tried it on GW2 and it runs OUTRAGEOUS.
