    I am using it for almost a month... :) It satisfies my needs (and I love playing most demanding games and many of them I already tried :)) and it has very good battery life, especially when I compare it to my old Turion X2 based Acer Aspire 5520G...
    Also my came with 4GB of RAM in one slot so the other is free and easy for upgrade... :)
    May be if you could get the one with a full HD 1080p display for best experience...

    I am also looking at the HP Probook 4730s. Could you please let us know about heat and noise? I have read it heats up quite a bit, and also that the fan is annoying. I would be extremely helpful if you could help with your opinion!
