The hard drive might be a bit slow at 4200 RPM, otherwise it seems like it'd be good for what you plan on doing.
nice, great specs but i presonally think that you picked a bad brand. my expierences with hp and other people have always been bad. 1700 is a lot to work with. sony vaio is always good and that kinda laptop will get you close to 2 grand from alienware.
Well since its over 15inches I wouldn't call it a laptop, its more of a mobile desktop. Nice specs though, but I recommend you get a dvd-rw/cd-rw instead its worth it.
Well you can connect to a wireless router and bluetooth is to be able to connect wirelessly to stuff that uses bluetooth like some keyboards, some mouses, cellphones and other stuff.
no dont no about it but ur specs look good, plus if u dont game theirs really no point in buying a laptop from alienware, and ur ram should last u a long time as well
Laptop bought.....
