User Review:

This notebook simply has superb features for its price. It’s simply unbelievable what you can get these days with $970. All it takes is a faster VGA card, this would become an acceptable portable gaming rig.

User Review:

This is an great laptop, sleek and stylish. Its light weight and slim design is awesome, it make me forget, that I even have it in my case. The Athlon X2 provides enough power at 1.90 GHz and it come with enough memory for everything you may want to do. It plays Battlefield 2 at medium level with ease, the features are just really awesome and even at 730$ this notebook will perform really well for gaming even online

Even though the 2G of 5300 DDR2 of memory is enough i upgraded to 4G 5400 DDR2 for my gaming needs and with hope it run Bioshock better it did help but not enough.

User Review:

Very high feature content for what I was looking for - Core 2 Duo, 3GB RAM (the max that a 32-bit system can see), 250MB Hard Drive, Webcam, Graphics Card… Add in the HDMI port which seems to be the wave of the future, and this is one sweet deal! Not a huge gamer, so this can function as a desktop replacement as well (I hope). Plan on hooking it up to a 22″” LCD monitor via HDMI and using a wireless keyboard/mouse.

For this price, this is a great deal. Processor isn’t a barnburner, but considering what I use it for, it should be fine and it is Core 2 Duo. I did max out processor utilization (according to the Vista CPU Meter gadget) while importing a CD into iTunes. Not sure if that would be any different for a faster processor. Two available accessories might make this really multimedia system friendly - the HP QuickDock and their HD ExpressCard TV Tuner. Not sure if I really need them at this point, but nice to have the option.
