I'm still kind of unsure of the details and specifics of processors, and such... just would like to ask you all if this is a good buy...

Dell, Intel Core i7-2670M, 2.2Ghz, 6 MB L2 cache
8GB Ram, 500gb 5400rpm HDD, 3 USB 3.0 ports, 1GB 128-bit NVIDIA dedicated graphics, 1600 x 900 resolution (my current laptop is 1680 x 1050, will this lower resolution be a big difference? and are 1080p laptops available? i thought 17" would be 1080)

i.e. i don't know what the Ghz, mb L2 cache (if that's good, or what to look for.. and the 1GB NVIDIA as well..)

It's usually $949, on sale $200 off... (Canadian)

if you guys can help me out... greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not bad at all would be snappy performer for sure. I personally am scratching my head at the screen res. the nVidia GT525M isn't bad for light gaming but it won't play the latest demanding 3D games with the best frame rates. If you are on a budget and don't care about that, It'd be a great general purpose 17 incher. Still that 1600x900 res is odd.
