We don't know what you're looking for or what you are planning to do with it. The purpose and your budget wil be the basis for any recommendation. That's a big heavy machine. Are you planning on being a gamer? If you are just wanting Internet, e-mail and word processing, that's about 3 times what you would need to spend.

Thats not such a good laptop.

The graphics card is only a low-end 7300 GT OC and the CPU is the lowest of the Mobile Core 2 Duo family @ 1.6Ghz and i doubt u can overclcok aswell as on a desktop PC.

RAM and HDD are great though, but the overall price isnt worth it anyway.

Laptops are very expensive in any case, and if ur looking for gaming (wich i assume u are, otherwise u wouldnt waste buying 2GB of DDR2-667 RAM and a Core 2 Duo) ur going to have to spend quite a lot.

I don't think you can overclock an HP anyway due to the BIOS, and certainly not a laptop. However, I don't see anything to imply he would even know what that means.
