Just a couple months back woot offered the same thing for the same price, except it was a 500gb hard drive, 2.4Ghz processor, and a blu ray player. So what makes this one special… It has less and is the same price.
I have personally owned 5 of the Pavilion laptop models and they have all broken in various ways. Hard drive died on two of them just one year in (no big if you have warranty). Two of them have had the hinges broken. Another’s wireless card died. The keyboard on ALL of them are missing keys. If you plan on using them on a regular basis I would avoid this line and maybe even the company in general.
My girlfriend has one of these. In the time I’ve seen it used, it’s a good laptop for anything but serious gaming - it’s a bit blocky, but it’s do-able. Doesn’t overheat as easily as the other models I’ve seen/used/owned.
