This is a decent computer. The graphics card (ATI Radeon 4250) is okay, and 500GB 5400 RPM HD isn't great but still good for a budget laptop.

My biggest problem with this is the processor - if you want more power you can unlock one of the cores - which is makes this fella mighty powerful. The problem is, AMD Phenoms tend to eat power like crazy (speaking of which, have you heard of those quad-core phones? Yay for 1 hour battery life?). Back to this laptop - it has 3 hours 20 minutes listed as its life, which isn't particularly horrible, so if you use it as a lightweight business computer/desktop replacement it should be fine. Just keep it plugged in cause it'll die pretty fast I bet.
