    I am thinking about getting this system:

    HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L2 Cache, 1333MHz FSB)
    •4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    •320GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
    •1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 230M
    •15.6" diagonal High Definition LED HP Brightview Widescreen Display (1366x768)

    The main reason I am considering it is because it has all of the latest hardware (Core i7, GT2xx graphics card, decent size and weight) and I can get it for under $900 shipped.

    My question is will it be able to play the games I want to play fine (perferably on high or medium-high at native resolution)? Games I want to play on it will be Oblivion, Fallout 3, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Borderlands, Mass Effect 2, and other games coming out next year. Also, do you think I will have a problem with the 720p screen (in regards to coding, word processing, etc.)?

    Thanks!

    P.S. Does the dv6t have good build quality and does it come with good-sounding speakers?
