    This is part of Komplett's Crazy Week promotion. A fairly well-specced 15.6" laptop and, AFAIK from what Ryan said, one on a site with free shipping. Good CPU for a sub-€600 model (2.4GHz dual-core with HyperThreading, so many application will think its a quad-core and run up to twice as fast!), decent RAM and HDD, and (surprisingly) something a bit better than the usual cheapo integrated graphics - an AMD HD545v graphics chip. Not exactly super-powerful - its basically a heavily overclocked HD4550 card - but very sweet for the price.

    The catch is that the screen "only" supports 720p+ (1366*768) resolution. But its a mixed blessing, as this screen would be easier to read than most laptop screens closer to Full HD resolution, and it also makes much better use of the HD545v - as a result you can actually play older (and less intensive new) 3D games fairly well on this laptop, a rarity among sub-€650 laptops ;)
