That is extremely over priced. You could get a new Dell, HP, or Acer with better specs then that for around $700.

Go to www.dell.com and you can build your own laptop there.

It depends what he will be doing it for but for business, I would get the Lenovo. You can also check out some reviews about those models at www.pcmag.com and then just search. I know the T40 won their Editor's Choice Award. Oh and by the way, you can't go wrong if you buy a Lenovo Thinkpad for business.

Lenovo's are nice and they do get good reviews, however you can get laptops from other companies that are also very reputable, for hundreds less.

Customize that one, you get a much better value than the thinkpad
