Hey everybody, so Ive decided to get HP Pavilion dv2910us Entertainment Notebook PC... http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/store_access.do?template_type=product_detail&product_code=FE989UA%23ABA&jumpid=oc_R1002_USENC-001_HP%20Pavilion%20dv2910us%20Notebook%20PC&lang=en&cc=us I can get it at circuit city for 630$, compared to hp which sells it for 800,
Do you think there are any other computers that are better than this for under 650$... Im wondering if i should get a different comp. my requirements for a comp are, around 200GB of space, a good screen, decent proccessor, and good design... are there any better options

To be honest. the g card on is not to great. (thanks to bean i know this ) Which may make it hard to run vista or any new version game.
If you go to best buy there is a comp on there site that is 699 and has a geforce8800 g card in it. That would probaly be a better buy.

If you wanna play games get off of integrated graphics.
Intel makes crappy cards.
Go with ATI ot NVIDEA.
Like bigbase said an 8800 can play your games.

Srsly thats a horrible video card with a not so great cpu or memory, on a small harddrive with a actually pretty good optical.
instead build your own laptop/desktop (YES, thats possible don't flame me).
You can get a much more decent system with a faster... well everything.

seriously 699? THats WAAAAAAAAAY cheap it probably has a horrible cpu about 512 mb memory and a 15 inch screen.
If you want performance, try a 9800m-gtx. The mobile version of the 9800gtx beats all others, even hte 8800m-gtx. if you want a budget card that gives good performance, grab the 9800m-gtS if your really on a budget, the 8600m gt is always there.
