I also never owned one, Always built my own pc.
Got an AMD ATHLON 64 3200 pc now and when you look at the laptop gigz it looks like they are so sloooowwww

Also saw some nice toshiba laptops but I also have to look at the price

about the laptop:

pro's:

- the one you posted has one of those nifty little chipcards from ATI, wich is quite a good graphics card (most laptops have on board graphics cards)

- you have wireless acces to wifi

things to check:

is your processor a mobile one?
(means that it changes it's clockspeed all the time, saving you LOTS of battery)

is your battery replacable? (it's recomended to take it out when your not using it + when you have to replace it with a new one)

conts:
- that laptop seems to weigh quite a bit (3 kg )

all in all, check for the things i pointed out, and i think you have a good laptop

Jow shoes,

checklist:

*Don't know if it is a mobile processot can't find it in the specs.
*battery is replaceble, only up to 3 hours, When I take a cheaper type then it is up to 5 hours but then I have those crapy graphic cards and I defenitly want a not built in graphic card.

conts:

3 Kg isn't that much ?

price for laptop: 1035 (3years garanty included.)(exc BTW)
