i will be using it for basic computing stuff for school, i might play some games( i currently don't)

is the processor enough for multitasking(burning a cd, using the web, listening to music, downloading a torrent,etc)


plus is this a good deal?



thanks

 

i have a couple days left to order
any suggestions?

 

Just as a heads up, you order now you will still wait. Upgrade to 9-cell battery and get your computer 3 weeks earlier.

 

I would also upgrade the processor. The T8300 is a good balance between the high and low end.

 

I'd agree that you should upgrade to the T8300 because it's a 45nm Penyrn and it's much faster for not much more money. Other than that it's a great deal.

Like others said, if you want it soon get the 9 cell. The 6 cells are mad delayed.

 

Yea, get T8300 and free 9 cell battery upgrade.
It's going to ship earlier with 9 cell.

 

Definitely at least a T8300 and try get a 2GB or 1 GB RAM and then buy it off newegg for $50 or something
