Pretty good laptop, will easily run Guild Wars on high while playing music.

Only problem you'll have is the occasional Vista bugs.

However, some older games might not work properly if you have 4GB memory.

And what exactly do you mean with... "doing work"?

that laptop should meet all your university needs with no trouble, based on the specs provided. If you can afford it, get an extended warranty too. There's nothing worse than having a problem just after your one yr warranty is up, when you could have had a three yr warranty for just a little more.

Tell Comet to stick their extended warranty up their expansion port - Comet warranties, just like those of the Dixons group, are vastly overpriced rip-offs.
