    4096 MB RAM
    15.6"
    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD

    p.s. I placed the order yesterday and I expect to receive it in the next few days with the crappy shipping methods they have.

    What exactly are you going to be doing with it? For 90% of users, a 2.16GHz Pentium Dual-Core (which is really just a low-end rebranded Core 2 Duo; a marketing scheme rather than a different processor design) will be plenty powerful enough.

    Lol the T3400 even feels faster than my E5400 on my desktop.
