What do you guys think of this deal. My girlfriends mom asked me what I thought for the price. It is $399 after rebate, can also make it $299 if sign up for microcenter creditcard. She's not looking to spend more than $600. Will be used for only a little gaming; mostly school work/ surfing. I read the ram is 1 stick not 2. Any other suggestions?
Thx in advance
