Someone who is very good with laptops!?

Hello :) I'm buying a laptop soon, and well, neither my mom or I have ANY idea about laptops. I THINK I found a pretty good one at an okay price but then again I don't understand most of this, if you could read over it, and tell me if these features are good? I'm looking into good graphics, good memory and hopefully fast. If this isn't good, please tell me what is good, and what I should look for! Thanks.

1. thats definitly what your looking for that sounds really good too at the mo im only on like 64mb graphics, and 1 GB RAM and i only bought my desktop a year ago, so yours is something close to top of the range
2. WOWZA!! okay i didnt read aaaaaaaaaaall of it but i skimmed it looks reaaaaally good hope it works :D
3. If you are wanting to play most modern computer games, that graphics card is horrible. Other than that, that computer will handle almost anything you throw at it. I'd say it's worth $550-$750. Please tell me you aren't paying like >$1000 for it.
4. This is a pretty average laptop. It doesn't have a super fast processor. At 4 gigs of RAM, you have plenty of memory. Your graphics will be fine for most stuff. Don't plan on playing the high level 3D games on this laptop because you would need a lot more video card. The battery life should be about 3 hours or so with the 6 cell battery. I love the HP laptops. They have done well for me. You might want to call HP directly and speak to their sales people. They can be a big help. Even though I know pretty much what I want, I still like to have a chat with one of their reps so I get the latest stuff.
