That looks great for the price, a little too great, actually. I can't see why this particular laptop is so much cheaper than other laptops in its tier. But hey, unless someone else finds something wrong with it, I would say that is a great buy.
EDIT: Keep in mind I know next to nothing about laptops these days. I do not claim to be an expert, I just wanted to point out that it seems too good to be true.

ViiP3Rzz wrote what will you be using it for ?
Well, I'm a youtuber, so mostly editing and rendering videos in HD. Also, maybe some PC gaming, like Minecraft, and whatever else this system can handle, I'll probably try. I have Call of Duty: World at War for PC, but my current laptop is so crappy it won't run it period. And Minecraft can hardly run on this PC on the minimum settings. Also, rendering takes ages. It takes me 3-3 1/2 hours to render a 10 minute video in HD
So essentially, this laptop is going to be 1000x better than my current one, no matter the specs. This just seems like a really good one for what I can afford.

Then that will will be shit for what you want, you render a lot meaning you need decent ram maybe 6-8 will do the job for now plus a good connection.
You will need a fairly decent graphics card to run games, a 512mb card should work and your processor will need to be better, an i3 would be fine, with all of the that you would be looking at more then 400 probably. And yes Minecraft does need a graphics card or you will lag
Edit: a 1GB graphics card would be better but you would be looking at more money, have you considered getting a desktop PC ?

It is expandable to 8GB memory, and I was planning on getting the additional 4GB a little shortly after I get the laptop. But, out of the box, this laptop will still render videos and stuff in a fraction of the time of what my current pc does, which is alright with me lol

I was going to get one, but I changed my mind due to college coming right around the corner. I needed a laptop way better than mine (which in reality almost any laptop out now can beat my laptop) for when I go to college. If I got a desktop, then I wouldn't have a laptop for college. So my plan is to get this laptop, then make a desktop when I get the money, so I still have a portable computer no matter what, and then eventually I'll have an even better desktop.
