Hi is this deal good enough or should I keep looking/waiting? Im going to use it mainly for school (surfing, powerpoints, typing) but I also plan to play warcraft 3 on it and do occasional photoshopping. Im really looking for an 11.6" laptop because i want it light and portable and also my budget shouldnt exceed $400. Whatever I buy should be shipped before Nov 13 so I guess I don't have that much time..

Also is upgrading from E350(1.6ghz)/6310M to E450(1.65)/6320M for $25 worth it? The base config ($350) includes the e350 and they offer an option to upgrade it to e450 for 25 bucks more.

That 11.6" you listed is really nice as well. Has the AMD E-450 which is not bad for what it is.

I would say you can't go wrong with that notebook. I also like the estimated battery life of it (9.5 hours). But that's probably just idling.

I like that A6 - 3400 system.

It's got a weak CPU but a decent GPU for its size/price. Well the CPU isn't that weak actually.

I don't think you could get any better at that price range. Possibly a refurb, but who wants those?

How bout the 11.6" sir, what do you think about it? Size, weight, and battery life of that 15.6" A6-3400 really turns me off.

About the power, although it's nice to have, i still value portability and battery life over it because I have a desktop at my place anyways for more serious work.
