Is this worth $400 new?

didn't look at the link but yeah sure

I did a search on Amazon for similar, seems like a decent price.

Not bad.

When you get it, though, make sure you look through all of the preinstalled programs. There's always a bunch of junk shareware that's preincluded on prebuilts.

Gaming laptop

Pfft, no.

Depends on what you are going to use it for. As far as gaming is concerned it is not that great. Don't expect to play the latest and greatest games on it, unless you are willing to play them on really low settings. Shouldn't have much trouble with older games though.

For a general purpose non-gaming laptop though, it is not a bad price.

Even a diner cook says yes.

lol fuck off with that. It'd happily play a mid-high mix at 1080p on brand new releases, and ultra is so often just an empty performance hit that you lose very little in actual visuals.
