At $599 it seems like a helluva deal, but I want to make sure that I am not missing any limitations it might have. I usually use my computer at home for internet, Word, and some Excel. Maybe an occasional game or movie.

Highlights:

15.4" screen
AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60
160 GB hard drive
Built in wireless 802.11 bg
3 GB of DDR2 memory
NVIDIA GeForce 7150 graphics card

1) main in rebates succccccccccccccccccccck
2) Intel Core2Duo > AMD X2

and if you know anybody with a rewards account you can get those 10%/12% off coupons and i think they work for laptops. might be able to print them off the internets too...i dunno

yeah, all things being equal, go intel over amd these days...you'll get better performance and better battery life

tww won't talk you out of buying things, but they will always offer a better something to buy
