Sure its "only" but its got a Core2Duo.

Even though its only 1.5GHz thats plenty to watch HD DVD movies. I don't think they would have included 2GB of RAM and a 200GB HDD if the processor couldn't handle it. Personally I would have gone ~2GHz however, the lowest level processor on the Dell XPS M1730 (Dell's gaming laptop) is only 2.2GHz.

The price isn't bad either. The cheapest Dell gaming laptop has the same processor as this machine with half the RAM, a 120GB HDD and no HD DVD or Blu-Ray burner for $1,299.
