Well I have bought one of their Laptops and I am impressed. I was a little scared reading some of the negative feedbacks but so far so good. I had a 1st gen 7700 and it was awesome. It had a million airmiles, carried that big sucker through airports all over the world, play countless hours of games. The Mobo finally gave up. I will get it replaced and it will live again. I bought this one from IBP

Now I know it is not the best out there by any stretch... But for the price it is quite a deal. Plays HL2, TF2, COD4, BF2142, farcry, all on the high settings. I did try crysis demo. That seemed to be its limit. it was playable on the medium settings.
Not near the size of the 7700 nor weight. I don't care for the shiny finish, shows every print. It doesn't seam near a durable so I will have to be alittle more careful with it.
So far I would recommend IBP. Probably not for everyone but if your on a budget try it out.
