    IMO...the price is a bit high since you got 'old technology', I mean chipset 855 not 915, and the Pentium M you should go with 7x0 series with that price, but anyway the choice is yours.
    Oh yes, why dont you think about getting another laptop manufacturers like HP/Compaq or Dell. They have better config at almost similar/or even lower price.
