I am looking to buy a lappy that will last me 4 years through college. Is this too good to be true, a good deal, or just regular price.

It's $1,299.99

It has a quad core intell 2.0ghz, and 6gb of ram along with ati radeon 4650 graphics card with 1gb of dedicated up to 2gb.

Someone posted that the specs are wrong and there is an hdmi port but i'm not sure




Also, would this be worth paying the extra 100 dollars, or no noticable difference to pay more money for?
