Buying a new Laptop, Opinions?

I don't know if this page will load but here are specs:

I just clicked on the computer I was interested in and there was a "specifications" tab on the page.

One cool thing about those F series is that they have quad core processors in them.

Thanks. The reason I couldn't view the specs is because I was customizing, and not just clicking on one of the pre-made computers.

All right, well I am probably going to go with the F-series then. It has the keypad too, which is nice. I will also go with the 1 GB of VRAM, because I think it'll make it much better.


The wireless options are the same no matter what the price is, it seems.

* Bluetooth® Technology : Integrated Stereo A2DP (2.1 + EDR)15
* Ethernet Protocol : 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T
* Ethernet Speed : Fast Ethernet (RJ-45)
* Wi-Fi : 802.11 b/g/n

Thanks for the help. I'm not buying it yet, because I have to wait for some checks to go from pending to actually being available in my checking account, but I'll be buying it soon.
