    Add $750 extra charge worth of time and aggravation.

    I think only an elitist would turn that deal down.

    I am a little worried about no video card. I want to play some games sometimes, not top of the line graphic games. Would that work? say something like guild war, age empire types, etc.

    To be honest with you, I do not know much about video cards. I hope someone else can answer your question. Sorry

    No im pretty sure most modern games requires some form of a graphics processor. Only thing that one might be able to run with that tablet thing is like a dos game or something.

    Go to dell.com or hpshopping.com and price something similar and see how it compares, or look at specials on their site and see how it compares.

    I also find a lot of good deals at Sam's and Costco.

    For 750 that seems like a pretty good deal. Also try out the computers at Fry's. They usually have pretty stacked computers for less than the competition.

    McCain has more laptops than he can count. Obama only has one laptop, but it's really nice and he bought it from a shady guy. Biden was going bankrupt before a computer store bought his old broken down laptop for more than it's value.

    Gateway is racist against Holstein cows.
