I need some advice - preferably by morning...
So, I am Cyber Monday shopping for an HP laptop, and I think I've found one. With free shipping and after tax it would be $638.66, and I currently have $700, which works out just about right.
These are the specs I picked out, so tell me if something's missing/sucks. I am not nearly as knowledgeable about computers as I'd like to be. Also, the thought of dropping that much cash at once has me spazzing the hell out. Like whoa. But it's not some cheap $200 thing anyway.

I am really considering ordering this later today, so any thoughts would be appreciated. If I'm going to blow four months of savings all at one time, I need to be sure I'm doing the right thing. I'm sure it would be fine, but you never know.
