Good computer deal?

I'm looking to get a new laptop, and when this first popped up, I thought it was a rip-off, but when I went to Dell to see if I could get a better laptop, I couldn't find a deal as good as this. I'd be sacrificing some processor power, but overall, good buy or not?

Also, while it is not of utmost importance, because I mostly play on consoles, can this run Oblivion? I've had it for PC for a while now, but my computer is incapable of running it without it looking like its playing on a Dreamcast.

The only problem I see for Oblivion is that video card. It'll run it, but I doubt it'll be much of an improvement over your current PC. Sager [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.100531] also got a lot of love as a laptop manufacturer.
