O.P. Undecided  Need input on laptop.
You guys might remember that I had created a thread asking for some laptop suggestions for me, my criteria were for it to be ultra portable, and strong enough to do most things (including a bit of playing).

Well, my financial situation is finally lining up right, and I should be purchasing a laptop soon enough. So before I buy something which I'll regret, I'd really really need your best input on this, as I don't want to regret buying something of bad quality or something that won't satisfy my needs.

My pick is actually the HP Pavillion TX1220CA (known as the TX1220US mostly).
The laptop is pretty new, and runs on a Turion X2 64 bits processor.

Now I know that AMD's are usually known to have last less than Intel's, but I will buy an extra batterie which I will carry around.

I need this computer for a bit of everything : school documents, programming, a bit of gaming, a bit of photoshop, some downloads.. etc.

So here it is.. I want your most honest opinion, as I have read a few reviews and they seemed to all agree that the laptop is allright.
