    Looks good, The Turion processers are great and have very good battery life...

    Its actually a bit expensive, If you strip away all the useless "extras" its just

    Turion 64 ML-30 1.6ghz
    512mb DDR333 ram
    WIFI
    DVD Burner
    60gig HDD
    12.1" screen

    You could get a better specced ACER or DELL for less
