Quick...What do you think of this deal??

[Taz480]

I'm thinkin about getting this. Looks like a good deal for the money. Wish it had at least a gig of mem, but the rest of the features for the price seem pretty good. What do all of you think????

17 inch screen? 80GB hard drive? DDR2 memory? a 1.8GHz turion? for $1000?

yes.

...but it really depends on what you'd use it for.

Well, Im a gaming noob so I would like to try getting into PC gaming. I know more memory would help there as everything else is up to par for it. But at least the video and system memory aren't shared like most are. Its upgradable to 2GB memory. Maybe later.

I can't tell what video card it's got, so it should be able to run all those games you haven't played yet, but don't expect FEAR to run on it. (my guess)

From Amazon:

"Video is powered by the ATI Radeon XPress 200M IGP video/graphics card, which delivers good, though not high-end, 3D graphics."

I think that if you're going to get a gaming DTR you might as well as get something with quality graphics, say a Dell E1705 or i9400 with GeForce 7800 for just a bit more. I think I've seen the above system with Core Duo and 7800 for 1.1 or 1.2k, but I can't remember.

The DV4000 series offer the 128mb x700 graphics card as an option.

If this is stricly for gaming, you definitely want something with a better video card.
