My girlfriend is planning on buying a laptop for general use (internet, microsoft office, etc.) she is an accountant and uses accounting software in addition to excel. She likes to multi-task and often keeps many windows open all the time, especially her music player (itunes). She has told me that she is thinking about getting the:

HP Pavilion DV2910us

I was wondering if you all with all the combined knowledge you have could tell me what you think about this computer. I am pretty much a noob and only know a little about pc's. (I'm learning though :D ) Can you help me? I want her to be able to get the best bang for the buck. She found one for $650. Is this a good price? Is there something better for that price?

She wants at least:

250 gig HDD,

DVD Burner,

Good CPU,

3 gig RAM,

Good enough graphics so that she can watch movies.


Thanks for a swift reply. :D
