Is this good? Laptop Related.

When it comes to computers and all I am a Noob. This is why I am a console man. But given the fact I do not own a laptop and one would be very helpful for school next year, how is this? I dont plan on gaming with it, until onlive comes out possibly. I will just be an average user; only needing it to type papers/articles, browse online, and a few other basic features. For only the $399.98 (sorry. American currency is all I know) is it worthe getting?

Yes that would be fine, and since you said you would not be gaming on it, it should suit your needs perfectly.

Looks good to me for school purposes.  If you wanted to make it a decent gaming machine all you would have to do is upgrade the video card.

No. I am not getting it for gaming. I have always favored console gaming so I have a PS3 for that.
