if they come out with a newer model soon, or else an HP. Can get the HP Pavillion 5300 series with 80GB HD, 512MB RAM (one slot), 2.4 GHz P4, 15" SXGA+, 54G wireless, and a DVD+RW/R and CD-RW combo drive, for about $2000 US.
Except for the weight and ATI video card, any reasons not to buy this from HP?
I do a lot of number crunching, and lots of hard drive space and RAM is very important for my work, as is good screen resolution.
