It doesn't have a GREAT graphics card, but it should do cs3. For $2000 at the base price, it looks overpriced. 2gb's of ram, a 160gb hard drive, and a semi-slow processor. If you get it, I would upgrade the processor, ram, hard drive, and graphics card. If you can't upgrade the graphics card, it will be way overpriced. You can find much better deals, and this just looks like they want to sell something with a large screen and bad specs.

That's a lot of upgrades for a 2 thousand dollar computer.

How many 20in laptops are out there?

jnskyliner34 · 06-27-2008, 08:13 AM

you could run CS3 apps on a less powerful laptop. well, i don't know about all the apps since i only use flash, dreamweaver and photoshop and it runs well.

My advice is to pay slightly less and get better specs when purchasing a laptop that you intend on gaming with.

Sir Travis D · 06-27-2008, 10:49 PM

A $2000 computer should have a better processor than a 1.86ghz dual core processor and bad graphics. It should have atleast an nvidia 8600 or 8800.

-woah - They are not even penryn

Get a Sager, they are the OEM manufacturer for companies like VoodooPC, Falcon Northwest, and Alienware. You save money by going right through them, plus their computers are solid as a rock. I ordered one with the specs in my sig.

Wait, you canceled your alienware order??
