What do you think of this laptop? My budget is around ~$1000 and the price of this laptop is slightly over $1000. I heard it's on board video card is just as good as the Radeon X300SE and it will have no problem playing Half-Life 2 on mid-low settings, is it true? Also I no clue what Turion 64 is, is it better than Celeron and Sempron and how does it compare to AMD 64, P4 with HT, and Centrino? Is this laptop a good buy for ~$1000? Thanks in advance.
