Not an "expert" on computers, but from what I can tell it's a pretty good deal. Just got a new comp myself with very similar specs and i'm very happy with it. What are you using it for?

It's showing that they're having problems with the server for me. It would help of you posted the spec here and what you would be using it for. There's no point getting a battlestation when you just need a netbook that will do the same job.

My biggest complaint is the 5400 RPM HDD. Also, it doesn't list what version of SATA.

I honestly wouldn't go below 7200 RPM SATA III. Your computer is only as fast as it's slowest part. 5400RPM was fast like... 5 years ago.

@Fieyr

couldnt i just upgrade it once i buy it?

@Johtoh - You could, but the thing is, big improvements to hard drives don't happen very often. It's not like a video card where the technology is constantly improving and therefore would become obsolete quickly where you might want to upgrade after 2 years. Hard drive tech, by comparison, doesn't change very often. There were 7200 RPM HDDs 3 years ago and are pretty much standard for HDDs sold today. Even Wikipedia says that most consumer drives operate at 7200RPM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

Combine that with the fact that I doubt you know what version of SATA ports are on the motherboard of the laptop. If it's SATA I, then even if you upgrade your drive to SATA III, you are limited by the speed of the SATA ports on the motherboard itself.

I'm not sure what your budget is, but regardless, it would do you a lot of good to research the actual hardware components. Find out what exists for harddrives, power supplies, video cards, CPUs, etc. Then you can make a much more informed decision regarding what you want. Once you have a little knowledge under your belt, you can make better decisions regarding what you're willing or unwilling to sacrifice.

Also, you can think about it like this. They could be plopping the most crap, most poorly reviewed, harddrive in the history of harddrives into your laptop. But let's say it holds out until you want to upgrade. Let's say it costs $50. But then let's say you then buy a $100 upgrade drive. You're out $150 now. When... if you bought the badass one to start, you only spend $100. That's not to say more money is always directly proportional to badassness. But a lot of times it is. Checking reviews online is still the best approach. I'm extremely cautious of anything computer that doesn't specifically state the specs of all the parts of the computer. It's just too risky. When you're dropping that much change, you should know EXACTLY what you're getting.

Also, 3 reviews on your laptop does not inspire confidence.

wow I thought I could say something smart but after reading what @Fieyr said I better keep silent, lol
