I originally wanted one with a little more performance but opted for 1.6GHz processor and 1 gig ram because I called the number on their website and they offered me a $700 discount for this model. Apparently they run deals all the time and when I called they had something with the qvc channel so I got lucky. I'd recommend this thing to anyone.
