What about the same minus 70GB on Harddrive (if I don't buy v. soon)

Sounds a little high, but, to be honest, I'd say yeah; I don't know a lot about laptops, but, the specs are pretty nice. 1k is about the right price for a laptop so I'd say you're set.

Way too over-priced. Mine has a better video card and more RAM and I got it for $1.100. I'd say keep looking.

[Hillblah]

I am buying this in N.Z though and prices are usually more expensive.

Why on earth would you need over 3 GBs of RAM?

Gaming?

[opn4bzns]

Given that Australia & New Zealand get ripped off on computers, yeah, that is a pretty good deal, and Dells are decent computers.

[Hillblah]

yep gaming. Thats why I upgraded the graphics card.

[Couch]

If you want it for gaming, I'd go for at least 512MB on the video card. Also, and anyone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's usually a good idea to mix RAM sizes like that. I could be mistaken though.

Get better ram to begin with, 667 mhz is pretty bad. Go for 800mhz.

Buy a new battery. Or else.
