This is basically just for the internet, music, poker, and maybe some counterstrike: source..

$1450 shipped

Also which of their security options is recommended (McAfee, Norton, or PC-cillin)..

The other computer I was considering was the black macbook which would be $200 more than this even after the $100 student discount..

Any input appreciated
