About to order my new laptop for christmas does it look like an alright setup?
Im gonna be using the computer for mainly browsing web and music sharing and probably some dvd burning. Not many games besides counterstrike. Am i over doing it for what i need it for? Im trying to keep prices fairly low.

I have the M1530 and its a good laptop. However, I would upgrade the hard drive to 7200 rpm and don't buy 4gb from dell just get 1gb and upgrade on your own (save money).

idk whether or not 160gb @ 7200 will be enough space for me
and whats wrong with their (dell) ram?

They're really expensive. You can save a lot of money by getting it yourself.

You can always get the 7200rpm and get a external hardrive if space is very important. IMO hard drive speed is very important!
