How Good Is This Laptop?

Hiya!
I'm *considering* buying a new laptop (well - saving for one) and I've found this.
To me it sounds fantastic for the money but I don't know if it really is.
HP Pavilion DV6620

A stylish and powerful notebook PC for advanced entertainment and outstanding performance

RAMMemory 2048MB 


HardDiskCapacity 250GB 


CDDVDDriveType DVD+/- RW Dual Layer 


ScreenSize 15.4" Bright View Widescreen TFT 


ConnectionPorts 3 USB ports, 5 in 1 (SD,MMC,XD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro)

Our Staples say that it's discontinued and they have the 6616 in for £500 but it doesn't appear to have anything online about it. (in English anyway) He said something about it only having been in for a fortnight so is it new?
Not so keen on buying anything online at that much money (about £50's my limit that way) but if it's a good deal I may be tempted - dependant on the specs of the 6616
Thanks!
