I need to get my daughter a laptop for graduation (HS). I came across this yesterday. It is $699 after $75 rebate. Quick specs: 15" XGA TFTF screen Intel Pentium M 740 (1.73GHz) 512MB RAM (2GB max, 1 free slot) 533MHz FSB 6-Cell battery (approx 3.5 hour run time) CD-RW/DVD-ROM XP Professional 40GB HD (I think I saw somewhere is was 4200rpm, but I don't see it here) My daughter will be taking elementary education in college next year, so she does not need a high-end laptop. I am kind of troubled by the possible 4200rpm HD. An equivalently configured Dell Inspiron B130 will run about $870 after rebates ($720 with XP home). What do you all think about this laptop? Thanks, Bobby
