HP Store Online

Is this a good deal for a laptop?

I recently got something in the mail from HP for a labor day laptop sale. The HP dv5z Pavilion for $559.99 which is $295 off the original price. Here is a link to info and specs. http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4486

1. 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
2. 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!!
