    Anyone have one of these laptops? I found it while researching the HP zv5000z and it looks like a good deal. For $2250 you can get an AMD 3400+, 1 Gig RAM, 60 Gig 7200RPM HD, Radeon 9600, DVD-RW/CDRW, and wifi. The graphics card is much better than on the HP and I don't have to swap out the HD, which is slow on the HP (5400RPM?).

    I don't have direct knowledge, but have heard from a few buyers that ended up being happy with this brand.

    I'm using one of these computers right now. Bought it last week, and it runs beautifully. I couldn't be happier with it. And yeah, it's VERY fast; I bought it to help out with my 3ds Max work, and it runs my 70,000+ poly character files faster than the tower machines (3.2 P4, 2gigs of RAM, NVidia Ti4600, etc) I use at college. Setup and such was easy as anything. Totally worth the purchase.
