I've seen HP go both ways; depending on Specs they make some good systems, or some really crappy ones. Post the exact specs of the laptop (How much memory, how fast the processor is, etc.)

it'll probably be good for a month or so and then, unfotunately, not so good. soon you'll notice it's a little slower than when you first got it; then it'll get more noticeably slow-like it's stuck in the mud or something. then, "things" will start installing themselves all over the place, "things" will pop up, programs will open and close randomly, etc. words of advice to you; don't throw your money away on a pc that will be "tolerable" for a little while, {i know, i have} instead, invest your money in a laptop that will be there for you and work properly for years to come - get the one with the little apple with the bite taken out of it that lights up - i'm talkin' 'bout the macbook-trust me;you won't be dissapointed.

i use an hp laptop and find that its great for gaming but mine was custom made. those specs look like they oughta get the job done but i still recommend custom building as you can get rid of stuff you dont need and make it cheaper or add things that would help, for instance you can never go wrong with more memory.

I agree with this, I bought my HP laptop from walmart for less than a grand. it had 2 Gigs ram and 200 gb hard drive ( i might have that switched). Mine worked great and still continues to get the job done. I don't game on it, I use it for my songs * I DJ as well * and just goof off on the internet.
Whatever you get you also have to bear in mind that technology goes pretty obselete within a few years because of new technology that continues to come out, so whatever you get, invest your money and make sure it will last you some years.
