Not that bad AT ALL

Vista Home Premium= Good because of MC(Meda Center) which I currently have hooked up to my XBOX through my Vista PC and it is AMAZING I have like 100 movies from demonoid on my PC and it basically turns my XBox into a home theatre.

200GB= Pretty Good Considering it's a Laptop can hold a good amount of movies and music if you use it as a portable Media Center using MC

Built-in wireless 802.11bg= Not that extraordinary.

AMD Turion X2 TL-60= A Reasonably Good Processor, of course it's STILL a notebook, maybe it can be switched out for a notebook quadcore but that would be too luxurious and expensive :X

3GB RAM= Pretty Good

15.4inch Widescreen= Makes it a good computer all by itself.

Overall I think it's pretty good and I would get it... if I had the cash :glare:

^ Overpriced much? Then Again you would pay tax... and then there's shipping.

Laptop is decent for the price. Best Buy also has a very comparable deal with no mail in rebate involved.

thanks for the advice i looked at the toshiba but i think im going to go with the hp just because it has more memory :thumbup: better for gaming and nice design +rep for helping!

Toshiba honestly is going to me more stable, especially the satelites...

Just because it has more memory doesn't mean much.. You really want to look at the clock speed of your memory and compare those.

Over this lappie looks good, I just don't Pavillions in general whether is a deksotp or laptop.

One recommendation is wipe that mojo and throw windows xp media center 2005 edtion on.. Same shit as your Vista Premium, just uses WAY less resources and more stable.

honestly i dont think you should take memory into that big of an account. the only thing you should be looking at is the max memory possible and the speed of that said memory. i say this because ddr2 memory is so cheap nowadays you can get 2gb for less than 40 dollars. it requires almost no work to install. even if you have no experience 10 minutes tops. if you need help with a specific model or something pm me ill gladly help.
