Below are the configurations. I have to act quick, I have a coupon that expires today which makes this laptop $750 before tax or shipping.

other than that; love it

Personally I would probably go further and upgrade getting 56k modem, if you travel quite often can get to be handy mainly if you're gonna use it to work... But as long as you can connect through other devices e.g. mobile or pda's wouldn't bother...

But those are small things you need to think about..

Then again, I do use laptop to work only, if your getting that laptop for general home use (including gaming)you'll be better off with R. Proffitt advice...

Very nice unit.

Usually can be had for not much. While not a gaming machine I have some fujitsu with the 4500 and my kid is playing games on it. I don't suggest this chipset for gamers.

I feel the screen would be too small for my taste so be sure to see the machine first hand before committing.

As always, get the second year warranty from HP. Do not buy other company warranties.
