I highly doubt "$499/$599 price INCLUDES THE 2-YEAR CONTRACT". $499 / 24 = $20.79/month. $599 / 24 = $24.95/month. That's cheaper than Cingular cellphone plans. I highly doubt that they will give the cellphone away for free, or provide a cellphone plan that cheap.
1. Is external monitor required to be used with this product? Will it work with the LCD that is built-in to the notebook?
2. Is any PCIe graphics card usable as an upgrade? Or does it take proprietary card only?
3. What game was used to do the comparison?

"My father-in-law is heading back to school in the spring and wants a laptop for Christmas. The only catch is their budget is around $400 and he does not want a netbook. He's not very "tech savvy" at all and doesn't need a hoss of a machine (not that $400 could get you one). We would like to get it for him as soon as possible and would love some input."
