Any opinions on this laptop?

The specs look good enough to me, but I don't know anything about modern CPUs.

Vista ain't .that. bad. It has some nice things that were missing before, the most obnoxious behaviors can be smacked around, and the oh-my-god-DRM FUD is pretty much just that, FUD.

Disclaimer: Yeah, I work for MS, but not for the 'dose group.

The biggest problem with Vista is the amount of memory and processor speed it requires.

Otherwise, yeah, it's very pretty and easy to turn on the wireless in Fry's to get Internet connectivity ;-)

I wasn't trying to imply that Vista is teh evil, just that he might get more bang for the buck, and have fewer headaches, with XP. I'm not speaking first hand, but I've heard a lot of stuff second and third hand...
