    I'm planning on purchasing the HP Pavilion DV2840SE but can't find any reviews for this laptop. Anyone have any insight towards this notebook? I'm not a "gamer" but I'm anticipating the release of Starcraft 2, which I might try to run on this notebook.
    The specs are:

    AMD Turion(TM) 64 X2 @ 2.0ghz
    4GB DDR2 Ram
    GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M (UMA)Video MemoryUp to 1071MB

    Any insight is greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Buy a laptop with a dedicated GPU, at least the 8400m GS.
