    Upgrade to Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
    Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor P7350 (2.0GHz)
    15.4" diagonal WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Infinity Display (1680 x 1050)
    FREE Upgrade to 2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm) from 1GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS
    HP Imprint Finish (Mesh) + Microphone + Webcam for HP BrightView Infinity Display
    FREE Upgrade to Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100AGN from 802.11b/g WLAN
    FREE Upgrade to 250GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection

    Yeah it's pretty awesome with those specs...just two things though. The Brightview Infinity Display has a reflection problem that some people have been complaining about so you should just get the regular screen and save some money (get the 1680x1050 screen without the infinity part of it). Also if you aren't going to be doing any gaming you should just get the Intel Integrated x4500 card and save about $100 over the 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS graphics card.
