    Well, it really depends on what you want to use the laptop for. It has integrated graphics meaning that you cannot play any of the modern games, but other than that the specifications are pretty good. Also watch out for battery life, although they have rated it upto 2 hrs, it will be lesser than that in real life. other models similar to this would be the Dell i6000, Acer TM4400, HP/Compaq dv4000/V4000.

    Check out discussion above. Glossy screen option, clearbrite, is a must.
