M_E, it's definitely a bargain. I'd say go for it..I actually don't know about the PC's. PM me with a link for it. I personally love my laptop. It works great-the only thing about it that I don't like is the short battery life. It's only "80 minutes". That's what they say atleast. It lasts maybe an hour for me...but if you're looking for long battery life, go for an iBook. The batteries on those supposedly last 6 hours..or something. iBooks are very stylish...more than Balance Notebooks atleast. The Balance notebook is kinda..just a block. Not smooth edges like an HP Pavillion..
Wow, you're not even looking for the notebook, and yet..that's all I'm talking about.
