    with that same value (i really dont know how much), i m confident you can buy better spec. You have to understand that once you buy laptop, they arent like desktop and cant be upgraded (beside memory). If you're planning to use this laptop for while.. I suggest either one model higher den dis.. or different model. Try dell even toshiba. The processor lacks behind, video card- will run older games however latest games, you'll have problem.

    Afterall, the choice is yours. Just my opinion.

    If you need good battery life, you are better off with a Pentium M CPU.
