Definitely good enough...but that's pretty damn expensive.

Well hey, if you're a tech geek like me and you've got that kind of money to spend, go for it. I can't offer any better recommendations for you, but maybe someone else can.

thnx man. i wihs some1 can give me recommendations. the only other laptop which i feel is good enough to buy here in NZ is Dell. but i kinda dont like it bcoz it has P4 and with the config i want i.e. just like the 1 above it will cost me abt 4500 nz$..

so i think this 1 is pretty good and it is also 17" with tv tuner n web camera
