It costs 1099€ ($1435.02).

What do you think?

Seems cool to me! I prefer desktop pcs as you can get faster speeds but I suppose if you need to work on the move you need a laptop.

Sounds like an alright deal. How big is the video card and what are you mainly going to be using it for?

The Video Card is this: Intel® 855GME 64 MB DDR RAM

Try to find one that uses the ATI Radeon Mobility M6 onwards if you plan on any game playing.

well, i'm not sure I need a PC asap. My Pentium II @ 266 is quite old and my current 20Gb HD is small for all what I need. I think I'll buy it.

It's a centrino. Those processors cosume much less power (the batery of this one can power the laptop about 3.7 hours) than mobile or normal ones and they're smaller (the laptop is 27 mm thin) so they are a bit slower. 1.5 GHz for a centrino is quite good, imo.

lol, yes it was a copy paste from the web page, in spanish. It's 1024*768 (one thousand twenty four )

hmm maybe get a faster computer as i mean in 1.5 g hz is crap.. At least get 2.0 or so.. It depends what u use it for also

it wont be good for games...

considering he has a 266mhz and it does what he needs it to do, a 1.5ghz centrino would be pretty decent, I have a centrino 1.2ghz and it is excellent.
