I bought this for my mom last month when it was $280. Too late to get a price match, but she still loves it. Much faster than the AMD V140 laptop she previously had.

It's sandybridge core. Even at 1.6GHz it will run with prior gen stuff at ~2GHz and beat the tar out of AMD's current cpus at 1.3-1.8GHz (E series).
Good deal.

I guess it depends on what your using it for/how you use the pc. I think 4gb will be plenty for me because I usually only run 3 programs simultaneously.

Just got back from Micro Center - upgrading RAM voids warranty per MC salesperson. Does not have separate areas to unscrew for access to RAM, HD, etc. Deal killer for me.
