Just wondering if you could pass on any advise concerning whether this is a wise choice in the spec I've chosen? I mean, I know generally what I'm getting in comparison to other laptops etc, but concerned that when I recieve the laptop, I'll be restricted by buying alot of RAM but not being able to use it, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, heres the spec:
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™2 Duo Mobile P8700 (2.53GHz) 1066MHz FSB/3MB L2 Cache
Memory (RAM)
4GB CORSAIR DDR3 1066MHz SODIMM - LIFETIME WARRANTY!
Operating System
Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium 64-bit + Windows 7 Upgrade Voucher (£88)
Bluetooth & Infrared Options
NONE
Memory - Hard Disk
160GB SERIAL ATA II 2.5" HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (5,400rpm)
CD/DVD Drive
8x SATA DVD±R/RW/Dual Layer (+ 24x CD-RW)
Graphics Card
512MB DDR3 ATi RADEON HD 4650 + HDMI & VGA
2nd Graphics Card
NONE
Network Facilities
ONBOARD GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS 802.11G NETWORK CARD (£6)
Stand-Alone Monitor
NONE
Keyboard & Mouse
NONE

NONE
Webcam
INTEGRATED 2.0 MEGAPIXEL WEBCAM
Headsets (VOIP)
NONE
Surge Protection
NONE
Printer
NONE
Anti-Virus
NONE
Office Software
NONE
Stands & Port Replicators
NONE
Battery
6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (4,800 mAh) - up to 3 Hours Battery Life
Power Lead & Adaptor
1 x UK Power Lead & 90W AC Adaptor
Carry Case
NONE
External Hard Drive
NONE
Note: This was Copy and pasted direct, in the standard laptop model it comes with a 4650 HD ATI Radeon gfx card.
Just for background info, I ruined my old laptop and was previously dissapointed with the graphics, and what games it could handle. So I thought I'd choose a laptop w/ a strong card, capale of handling most top end games backed up with DDR3 RAM and a decent processor. Not entirely sure if it is a wise decision to just pick what I like and hope it works, so would like to hear from some experts!
Cheers
