I think I may, it is quite a good deal from the research I have been doing...

Looks great.

Should be pretty nice. I have the T5300 processor and 2GB RAM in my HP and it's quite fast. Should be quite nice with the 8400M in it too.

Have fun with Vista

Don't be a fanboy unless you can post facts. I had one HP that died on me. The rest of my returns(if you read my stories) weren't really nessesary. As for Dell's, I worked on some not too long ago and I wasn't too impressed. These particular models got extremely hot. And one of my close friends got a Dell recently and has had some problems, such as keys on the keyboard randomly giving out.

If you're worried about such problems, look into getting a laptop though Costco. They tack on an additional year to the standard warranty as well as have a 90 day return policy.

each respective company just slap their logo on.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit

I know my Averatec was some other brand. Rather annoying too. The thing had an upgradable processor, but the Averatec BIOS didn't support anything above a Sempron.

Back to the original question; I still say stick with Costco products. Again, they offer great return policies and warranty extensions. On top of that, I think they cover repairs after their return policy is over. Don't quote me on this, but I was thinking I read something about returning it to a store.

But seriously...what other company will give you a full refund (including shipping) within the first 3 months?!
