Default My new laptop!

Finally, I have my own personal PC. Just picked up this laptop at BestBuy for just over 1k. Mainly for college. This baby is sweet, it won't play amazing games but it's just wonderful to be able to run them for once. I have it hooked up to my parent's 50" plasma with the HDMI port, so awesome!

Freeeedoooommm!

Yea, he kind of did. I would have expected a better card than the 8400 and a better processor, but it does look cool. It's actually $1150 I think.

You got ripped off.
I paid 4025 Dirhams in UAE for a HP Pav dv6383. Not sure how much that is in your currency.

The specs are :
1 GB DDR2 RAM
128 MB GeForce Go 7400
160 GB HDD
Core2Duo T8100 @ 2.1 GHz
Vista Home Premium

Talk about getting ripped off
