Most people seem to think memory is the way to go when purchasing a new computer, but if you want a computer to be fast you need to go for something with a good processor speed. Anything with 2.7 GHz and higher is going to be an excellent choice, even if the computer has 250GB of internal memory. You can find external hard drives or upgrade the system memory yourself for cheap. It all depends what you need the computer for. $349 seems to be a fair price for that specific computer, though ASUS is at the top of my list. Good find on an HP though :) Good luck with your search!
