Yeah, that's pretty decent. Just don't expect really great gamming with it.

The graphics card would hold you back from playing fairly new games, and no, generally you can't upgrade them.

I'm a student, so i get a discount if i buy from them, and if i get the same components in other computers, it ends up way more, so that's why i am considering hp.

what would you'se recommend as a minimum graphics card in a laptop to play unreal tournament 2007...when it comes out.
