You would be very hard pressed to get a better laptop than this one, it has the new Intel I3 processor installed, which benchmarks far faster than the AMD Phenom II 3 gHz. model. Also, this laptop has a very large hard drive, HDMI output port for viewing streaming videos on HDMI TV's, etc. The four megabytes of RAM expandable to 8 megabytes is excellent. Also, has WiFi with all three frequencies, b,g, and n. All in all, one of the absolute best buys on the Market in this price range.

I have this computer; the Lenovo S10. I enjoy it very much. But this is not a new machine, and shouldn't be something you are waiting to receive. I would suggest that you cancel your order and order again through another supplier. It's there on newegg.com for the same price and free shipping. If you can get by with a HDD of 80 Gb, you can even save some money. If you order the model with 512 Mb of RAM, or even 1Gb, it's easily upgraded to the maximum of 2 Gb by investing an additional $20 in a 2Gb RAM stick. Installing it takes under 5 minutes. Finally, if money is not an issue, and you would like something similar with a 6-cell battery, take a look at the Samsung NC-10.

Thanks for the info, Donald.I'm still amazed at how the price fluxuates on these sets. The 52XBR6 currently sells on the Dell site for $3000, whereas other places online have it for less than $2300. That's a huge difference. And you never know what the price is going to be at Amazon. It goes up or down $200 or less every day.I'm happy with the price I paid for the set. If it goes down $200 in the next few days I won't cry a river. I could have paid much more a couple months ago.

Technically : YES... but what room will you have left? sounds like a 256 is in order. not to mention they have come down to sub 100 prices as of lately.

I don't recommend this computer. I bought this and have had nothing but problems with it. I spent $1000, and had to have the mother board replace along with many MANY other problems. The computer has just run out of warranty and now is broken AGAIN and needs ANOTHER NEW MOTHER BOARD!!!!! I hate this Dell, and went out today, and bought an HP laptop.

You could easily build a gaming computer for this price with much better specs. Just look up "$500 gaming computer build" on google and some good stuff will pop up.

Hi! If you want your 8th grader to have this I don't think it's a bad choice at all. It's a pretty decent laptop computer and just about anybody at that age would be very lucky to have one. Have a nice day, Emily! :)

This is a well rounded computer as far as surfing, accounting, small business, you tube.... the graphics card is great, but it's from 2011, so I would look for something a little newer and maybe with less storage would bring the price down.

Seems a little low in my opinion but computer part prices flux alot so its hard to tell. I would contact the seller with concerns. Worse case scenario you file a complaint. However this is a offordanle motherboard I picked up mine refurbished for $108. Hope this helps, I myself would take the risk.

Don't buy this computer .... there isn't a harddrive inside that's why it's so inexpensive .... look for another computer with similar specs but spend at least $125 on it .... you should be ok then

I was wondering about that as well, but I purchased it anyway and it was a mistake. I had a lot of issues with this computer I only had it for 6 months. I ended up purchasing another one but a Dell which was a much better buy.

yes. but that computer is gonna die prematurely anyways...(bad video card and overheating issues by design) so... good luck

I would contract seller. They have a person who should be able to help you. I have had zero problems with may computer. Much better than HP or Dell...
