    With the school coming far too quickly I've been looking at a cheap laptop to use for school. Going to school for computer science. Was thinking about maybe making the laptop dual boot with ubuntu as thats what most the computers at school use. All I really need it for is programming, web surfing, and maybe a little wc3 or something during some of those annoying 2 hour breaks between classes if I have nothing else to do.

    This laptop looked like a pretty good deal, but just wondering what you all thought about it. Also it's recertified and I'm not 100% sure what it is and if I should steer clear from it or not.

    Any comments or advice would be much appreciated!

    Anyone know if that graphics card would be good enough to play warcraft 3 on descent settings?

    And still looking for any other feedback!

    Looks good to me, with one exception:
    AC Adapter65-watt AC adapter Not sure if that's standard or not, but seems to be a little too small for the hardware enclosed. You may need a lap-fan under the laptop to keep airflow moving. But, that's just my opinion.
