Is this computer good enough?

I get a lot of calls from people who are planning on purchasing a new computer. I really enjoy these calls because I am typically able to help people keep from making some big mistakes based on the advice of their teenage children.

Today I had a call from a client who had purchased a computer but wanted to make sure she got the right thing. She had asked my advice about a week ago and I told her to set a $700-800 budget and anything she found should work great.

She called me to tell me about her decision. She chose to go with an HP, she didn't know all of the details, but she said it had 1024 "of something" and 160 "of something" and "two processors or something" and a 19-inch flat panel monitor.

She said that it will cost her over $1000 up front, but after rebates it will cost less than $400!

That is not only a good deal, but it is a fantastic deal!  

I also thought it was funny how even based on her vague description, I knew exactly what she had purchased. 

By the way, the computer was a custom built HP from Office Depot.
