Computer help?

okay but the fact is it only bareley meets vista requirments and if you want to do everything to be compatible then you should run xp. that laptop would be nice w/ xp! 17in is plenty and the clear veiw is hard to keep clean but is nice for gaming if you have little glare. 5400rpm is a bit slow for a 250gb. hp books are known for their ability to to withstand abuse and the power systems are good. if you need it to be a laptop then i suggest similar hardware except 7200rpm hd, 256mb dedicated graphics. but w/ windows xp.
