    Get 2GB of RAM, 4GB from HP costs way too much. If you really need 4GB, wait until you get the notebook and see if you are okay, and if not then buy some from NewEgg.

    Otherwise, good.

    Greg, I believe that is a pre-configured system, so no customization choices. As far as the specs are concerned it should have no issues with what you intend to use it for.

    EDIT: The system ships with 64bit version of Windows...so make sure your hardware(printers etc) have 64bit drivers and some older software might not work with it. Most common 32bit software like Office, flash, acrobat shouldn't have any issues however.
