...For $1,149 after rebates, you get a computer that's $300 cheaper, same 1920x1080 resolution screen, same amount of RAM, same hard drive, same processor, upgraded video card from GTX425 -> GTX460. The only drawbacks are that the screen is like 1'' smaller and the Asus weights a bit more.
All in all, you get a better gaming computer if you can live with the slightly smaller screen and heavier laptop.

For the $300 you save, you can buy a Netbook or get a warranty on your computer.
