    Hello, I just wanted to let you guys know about a good solid laptop I recently purchased (due to my old one breaking).

    My crappy HP laptop I was using prior to this recently broke on a whim. It was unexpected and I needed a new laptop asap. I couldnt spend that much money, and I needed a FAST rig.

    Boy did I get lucky. At Best Buy I found this HP Pavillion DV4-2145dx. Let me tell you this thing is mad sexy for the price.

    I think I payed $600 (plus tax, etc). Windows 7, AMD Turion II Dual Core Processor (2.3ghz, 1mb L2 cache), 320GB HD, 7200RPH Hard Drive (which is nuts for this price class), ATI Radeon HD 4200 Graphics wiyj 238MB DDR2 Display Cache, 4GB RAM (expandable up to 8GB), sexy 14" widescreen BIGHT high def screen. Compact, cool design, and sleek. I actually think the processor is pretty much equal to an i3 performance wise.

    4.5 WEI, but all 4 other categories were right under 6.0.

    This thing is fast, I can multi-task like a bamf. Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Firefox with 10 tabs open, AIM, MSN Messenger, Filezilla, Notepad++. Havent tried any games yet, but im sure I could run the latest (such as MW2 on moderate settings).

    If you are looking for a fast and up to date rig, but dont have $1000, this laptop will do you good. Its not an i7 power house, but for the price, it is a pretty powerful machine. I love mine, and I want to marry it.
