Good deal; but it's Vista with 1GB. In my opinion, XP + 1GB = good deal. Vista + 1GB = not so good deal.

vista runs fine with 1gb.

I have 1gb in my (aging) gaming pc and it runs vista and everything else just fine.
2gb will be a lot better, but it's not bad.

It's like 512 mb for xp. Not ideal, but it worked damn fine for 95% of the tasks.

I actually bought this laptop 2 weeks ago when it was $599 also.
It runs fine with 1gb of rams.
All you have to do is uninstalled all the crap softwares constantly running.
Beside, a 1gb of rams cost less than $45 these days.

And you can buy 2 gigs of Crucial for about $70 after rebate. RAM is really a moot point right now with the prices.

Ive had this lappy for a couple days now and its pretty sweet, a bit on the ugly side but i put all silver reflector tape on it so it looks halfway decent

It seems that some of these laptops have a better CPU than advertised!

See here:

I bought the MT3708 from Circuit City for $579 after MiR on Saturday because the local BB was out of the 3707. I'll be returning it though because my lost laptop has been found

I did not not open the box so I don't know if it had the T2250 CPU.
