To me its a pretty strong pc but i want to get an opinion from OCAU. If memory serves me correctly its RRP$1999 i think. I know its below $2000 and currently on sale for $1750 (not for long tho). It doesnt come with any preloaded software but that isnt a big problem since i have heap of bits and pieces of software at home.

Few things not mentioned in the quote is that its clocked at 2.5ghz and is running a 9400m gs graphics card.

Please give me your opinion. For me it would be used for school/uni, gaming (since it looks like it has the power), movies(watching not editing), internet use and MSN.
