Wait, the Radio Shack and Office Depot Acers are the same PART number, so how come the different descriptions?
You can do anything on these Acer's but play DX10 games at 60+fps and expect to encoding a video in HD in a short amount of time. But with that said, Sony Vegas supports dual, triple and quad core CPU's, you might not be able to do much of anything else while it encodes, but why would you wanna do that with your laptop unless you HAD too, in which you can do that with this laptop(s).
$399 for this thing seems to be the norm, Fry's also has it for the same amount…
