I say "that much" because I spec'd one almost the same and it came out to $1600ish. I wonder why your brothers was so much more?
i think there is a large price difference from 15.6 to 17 inch laptops.

15.6 is what i assume to be the max size for a portable laptop, 17inch ends up being planted on a desk often due to the size/weight. and it is easier for the companies to produce the larger product.

it seems like a pretty good price considering most of his options had a bit of what he wanted, but lacking something else, at $200ish less. This one hit all of his goals.

From what i remember from one site, the Sager's could have 6970 with glossy screen, or 460M with matte. Glossy is not very nice to deal with, so I'd imagine he paid a bit of the premium to get all the desired parts together.
