Did I get a good deal? Laptop purchase.?

We bought this laptop because I will be needing it for college in a year, but I also wanted to play some games coming up. We were able to get this for $1150 through Dell.

Inspiron 1520, Intel Core 2 Duo T7300, 2.0GHz, 800Mhz, 4M Cache
2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm
Anti-glare, widescreen 15.4 inch display (1280x800)
256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT
80G 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition, English
8X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive
Integrated High Definition Audio 2.0
Integrated 2.0M Pixel Webcam
Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Mini Card
1 Year Limited Warranty
56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Prim
85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Additional Battery, for Inspiron 1520

It is an Inspiron 1520. Got it in black, let me know what you think. I am willing to purchase upgrades in the future, such as a higher RPM harddrive.

In about 3 years, all this will be needing to do is simple internet browsing and word processing.

Answers:
Very nice unit, only thing is anti glare. It means non-glossy. Not great for watching vids or playing games.
I wouldn't say you got a great deal price wise. But you got a great laptop at a fair and reasonable price.
for simple stuff, its ok. no deal though. down side, its a dell.
I would agree with the first guy. Not a great deal but good enough.
