New 2009 MBP 17 for $1,799 at Microcenter

I just picked up the 2.8GHz 17" macbook pro (antiglare model) for $1599 at my local microcenter. No dead/stuck pixels, awesome display (imo this 17" has a better display than the i7 17" hi resolution that I sold off a month ago!) and the speakers are freakin loud and clear!

I decided to sell my 13" as I hate the glossy display and it was just too small for me! Other wise it was a nice little notebook (speed was fast, the nvidia 320m). Well there's 2 more 17" 2.8GHz antiglare models left at my local microcenter! It is a great deal!!!
 
That is ridiculously a good deal. $1599 here.
Antiglare doesn't even cost more. Amazing deals, microcenter. Don't tell apple or you'll get your distribution rights revoked.

Why did you sell the i7 and get a c2d?

At the time I sold my i7 to use half the money to buy a new projector. Now that the 17" 2.8GHz model is affordable, I sprung for it as I wanted the louder speakers, bigger screen realestate.

I can sell my 13" for the price I paid for it (pretty much get my money back) so it works out well for me.

So far the 2.8GHz core 2 duo 17" macbook pro seems to be a tad slower than the 2.66GHz i7 model that I had but in normal everyday usage, I dont notice much of a difference if any at all.
