Vista Home is not eligible for the Windows 7 upgrade, should get Premium. I'd get a 6 cell battery.

True enough, but for $450 it looks like a pretty good machine.

fuck vista and fuck windows 7. Upgrade to Win XP Pro for the stability!

Agree with #1, need 6 cell battery. Otherwise, seems like
an ok deal.

Intel Graphics suck.
I have a 15" Dell and 1280x800 feels like I'm missing 300 pixels at the bottom of every program.

#3, have you ever used either of those operating systems for more than 5 minutes? I'm not crazy about vista, but if you're not a retard and screwing up the OS, it is plenty stable. My desktop has been on for 3 weeks+ without a reboot on vista ultimate. My XP machine would slow to a crawl, and programs would stop running correctly after about 2 weeks. I have xp on my laptop, and I have slightly more issues with stability on it than vista. Both OSes suck, but really I think on adequate hardware, vista vs xp is more of a preference thing... and if that's what it is to you, your comment surely does not reflect it. Then again, I guess most of your comments are pretty inflammatory and irrational.
