Answer 1

Hi!

This seems like a good configuration..

There is one thing you should do if you want to buy this. Spend a few extra $$ to upgrade the memory. - As far as I can see it's delivered with 2 GB Ram..

Upgrade to 4 GB (Maximum for this computer)

Increases the experience!!

Answer 2

Although the computer your looking to buy is solely based on how you plan on using and your technical experience and comfortability. This PC is a very rigid machine from what I can see and would be a good investment for students or people who need the mobility with a strong case. Built for heavy use.

Processor: 2.1GHz AMD Turion X2 Ultra dual-core processor ZM-80 --dual core... perfect

Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 3200 -- great

Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium with SP 1 (64-bit) -- I hate Vista and don't recommend it to anyone

Screen: 15.4" WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1680 x 1050) --beautiful, clear widescreen

Memory: 2GB (up to 4GB configurable) -- very good performace

Storage: 160GB SATA HDD (5400rpm) --decent hard disk space

Optical Drive: SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support -- a dvd burner, good

Wireless and Communications: 802.11b/g WLAN --good

Good luck
