Dedicated video card is a plus. Resolution is not.

It isn't dedicated.

It isn't dedicated.

Oh yeah, that too, it's one of AMD's "Dedicated-Class Graphics" that they've been doing since they acquired ATI.

He was asking if it was a good laptop. A number of people in this thread have been pointing out that, with far better technologies out there, a 5400RPM HD isn't very good.

Yes, and I agreed. I've outlined my thoughts on the matter earlier i.e. it is okay if the price is right. It isn't in this case though.

For the record: I'm on an SSD and fiberoptic internet, not a 5400rpm and 56k

Wait, this is a bit confusing. $520 savings? So they retail the laptop at $1,300 or so? LOL. For what they offer? GTFO. For that price, not putting a SSD in, and even worse, putting a freaking 5400 RPM drive, they must think their consumer base stupid. Even Best Buy will offer better for that price.

They include the bundled software and tech support in the "retail" price.

I guess I just have some pent-up anger since I'm stuck using a 5400RPM HD right now while I've been used to a SSD for the past couple of years.

As I said earlier, I'm okay with paying a bit more because I get to spread out the payments over nine months. If that wasn't available to me, I wouldn't be getting any computer at all right now. (And I really need one.) Plus, you get a lot of full version software and a carrying case with the bundle, which is convenient.

I'll try to score a good deal for the SSD in the future to mitigate the mark up here, but you guys don't need to debate anymore as I've already ordered it.

I do appreciate the advice though, so thank you everyone.

Darn. I thought we had Hours Left.
