    Default Not a paper weight

    My new HP I just ordered. I usually go with Dell for prebuilt stuff. But I haven't been impressed lately which is why I have been building my own rig. But in order to take down and rehab my gaming pc I need my laptop to work and its merely just a paper weight now. So I ordered this laptop.

    - Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
    - Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7250 (2.00 GHz, 2 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
    - 17.0" WXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1440 x 900)
    - 2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
    - 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS
    - Fingerprint Reader
    - Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth
    - 240GB 5400RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (120GB x 2)
    - LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
    - High Capacity 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery

    All for about $1340. What do you think?

    Not yet. Estimated build date is November 9th. So I wont even have it for probably 2 or 3 weeks. I just hope it makes it here before my desktop dies. When I run certain programs the fans howl. Its too much for a 5 year old pc.

    Well...thats a nice website. I've never ran across it before. I think I made the right decision then. The only thing I didnt notice is that no one really mentions anything about dual monitor setups on a laptop. Is it possible?

    Any time

    As for the dual monitor setup, as long as you have a VGA or DVI plug on your laptop you're good to go with dual monitors.
