You will love that card slot. It'* like a cheap *****..it'll take anything that gets shoved in there...lol

vary nice man!!

what speed AMD is it?

Nice!! How much?

It'* a 1.8 GHz, and at my local best buy, they are 1,199.

I want one. but Uncle sam took all my Money.

thats pretty nice.

i like the number pad. thats what annoys me about mine - thres no number pad.

1.8ghz processor . . . how much ram?

[mentally comparing our laptops]

Well, it'* at least 17" wide (screen size), I would guess more like 18".

That one looks like a good candidate to replace my desktop, when the time comes.

I had that laptop but returned it because of the video card performance. I wanted to play games on it etc. meanwhile I bought a Dell 9300 witha nvidia 6800 256mb card and have not played one game.....lol

Have fun with it....nice that it has the keypad on the side too as my dell dont.
