How did I do?

[Alias]

Pretty good deal but you could have the upped the hard disk to a 80 GB 7200rpm..

Though for the games you suggested playin, this config is more then enough!

[Kailoth]

The only 7200 rpm option is for a 160 gb hd (I have plenty of externals already). Oh well..

[Notebook Solutions]

I would go for the 160 G 7200 rpm, but you say that you have plenty of external hard drives... Very good system for a great price, nothing to say.

A review would be nice

[YoJr]

really good price. about what I paid for my 1505 earlier this year and it is very comparable. What battery did you get though? I can't imagine life without my 9 cell

[Kailoth]

I got a 9-cell battery.

[Richteralan]

How did you do that?
I tried and cannot get it lower than $1200
