well seems nice except if you want to game with it, the 1.8ghz dual core and the 5400rpm hd are gonna hold you back. I would try to get a 7200 rpm hd and at least a 2.8 dual core, or better a single 3.2 core.

Best of luck

The laptop I had before I returned it (because vista is a piece of shit) was higher specs than the first laptop you posted.  It was a 2.4 dual core with the same GFX card and 2 7200 160g HD's (320g). 2 gigs of ram.  17" all the shit. But it was only $1479.00. BTW it was an HP. The only place I found it for that price was at costco. Try Costco.com or if you have one near you go check it out. I was there last week and they still had them there.

I need a good gaming/homework laptop for my son...going to college in fall of 09.  Home computer is about to die, so would prefer to replace it with a sytem He can take to school when ready. Not reallly interested in bells and whistles, just lots of hard drive space, processor speed, and video capacity. Any suggestions?
