Slighty Better Graphics than an Intel Sandy bridge i3.
Much much weaker processor.

I would try to find an A6 for not much more with a CPU 2x more powerful and about 1/3 more powerful graphics.

However, but if your limit is absolutely $360 and are looking for a laptop to game it will do but I would try and save a little to get something such as.......

I think the build quality would be better on the HP. Brushed aluminum topcase.

HP Leads the Pack from the Bottom in terms of both Quality and Service.

HP's main selling point is low price not quality.

if you belive that crap then go buy a sony laptop, biggest piece of crap in the stores. I've got 3 HP laptops, not a sigle issue with any of them. and if you want to go buy a apple product go ahead and spend 5X the money for the same performance. i've got better things to do with my money than spend $1800 on a f'ing laptop. take your troll a$$ somewhere else to spew hate.

If the A4 meets your needs then this is a nicely priced package. You get more useable stuff than the back to school packages that WalMart puts together.

The 17" HP is available for $379.99, but without the extras. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+...8637209653

Personally if I was worried about the price, I would spend a bit more and pay no interest on all purchases $429 & up if paid in full within 18 months.

That way you could get a better A6 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+...Id=5044404

or even a $ony http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+...Id=5660106
