    Hehe...yeah then you can even play games on it.......but if you are not going to use it for games the weekest point of the LAptop is the HDD....the rest looks really fine. But 60 GB HDD is not that bad for a laptop either...

    I can always ask for a secondary external HDD to store data as soon as the main one gets filled.

    So you reckon it's a sweet deal to take right...?

    The only problem with Laptops in the aussie climate is that there little fans don't keep them cool enough, so you will notice some slow down, unless of course your in an air conditioned room or something.
