What's your usage ?

 

[death_relic0]

generally speaking, the specks vs the price, its a good deal

That looks good, but core i5 generally doesn't come with the GMA 5700MHD as a graphics card... what's up with that?

Using it for school, maybe movies and cs4 when I am bored.

For non-gaming purposes its good, but definitely upgrade the RAM to 4GB.

Then HP 620 (WZ294UT#ABA) Notebook Intel Pentium dual-core T4500(2.30GHz) 15.6" 3GB Memory 320GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi Intel GMA 5700MHD - to me a more intense deal for the money
Cost $$489.99

Don't even think about gaming on it. It has Intel graphics.

 

[raza715]

He never asked it as a gaming laptop, he has asked as general laptop.

It should work well, if you do anything graphics intense then you should think about another laptop a little higher on the ladder. but for your criteria, your fine.

 

[raza715]

it will also provide you around 4:30-5hours standby
