you have to specify to compare this to what or at least for what? Gaming, Uni, Work, general stuff,...

its for general stuff ;)

Its graphics card is not that good IMHO, you could get much better deals. Its CPU is last-gen, so you could get 2nd gen Sandy Bridge CPU too (Core i3 / i5 / i7 2xxx rather than xxx). Be warned that the Geforce 300M series has had corruption issues and such, you might want to research before getting one, and getting one if only on sale is a good choice, since it's a last-gen series too. It's been replaced by the 400M and the 500M series. So for example, if your aim is low-end graphics, 525M is a better choice than its equivalent 300M counterpart, since at the same performance, power consumption tends to be lower, or the power consumption would be the same for better performance, and, of course, they would be more stable, if the previous series had faced problems that the new series has just rectified. Good luck!

EDIT: Answering your question, no I don't really recommend you this laptop. As I said, you could get much better deals.

mr.spick, please don't bump topics. Familiarize yourself with the etiquette before posting.

If you want our hardware specialists to help you, you'll need to give them details on how you'll be using your laptop. Stating that it is for "general use" is too broad to be helpful.
