What do think of this customized laptop?

That is a little steep. It has a good processor and all, but for that money you should be getting a 500gig 7200rpm hard drive and a GTX260m graphics as well as better resolution monitor in a 17" spec, something like 1900x1200 resolution. That one has good ram as well. Look for that CPU and ram but with a better graphics chip and bigger monitor and faster hard drive, if you have that same money to spend...
