Looks alright for the money. I like that you went for something with 8gb RAM rather than the 4gb you mentioned earlier.

The GT610m may also add GPU accelleration for rendering video.

Just found same computer at a dick smith with no battery (they sold it )

Battery on eBay 30 bucks.
Savings!

Reviews of that laptop:

+ Very fast start up, good battery, stays cool, numberpad to right of keyboard
- Keyboard is sloppy, speakers are at the bottom of the unit so if it’s on the desk the sound is muffled, touch pad is supersensitive, no bluetooth

+ Screen size, full size keyboard with numeric keypad
- No bluetooth, not full HD screen resolution, No backlit keyboard

+ Responsiveness of mouse, efficiency, quiet fan, no over heating yet, nice keyboard and layout. looks great
