  fair enough tho. More powerful means more money to spend. If you don't do heavy graphics stuff then this one is way to go.

  Intel HD graphics are sufficient. A bloody good deal.
  HN also has the same speced machine with a little slower core i3 processor for $530~.
  I bought one last week for $400 from DSE but it is a Pentium 2.2 ghz C2D and bit slower specs than this.
