Should I buy this laptop?

[Warwithin]

The bottom line:

Price: $699.99
Brand: HP
Model: 4-1015DX
Processor: Intel Core i3
Memory: 4GB DDR3
Space: 500GB

I like the fact that it's thin, aesthetically pleasing, and doesn't feel cheap when you tap/hold it. A big selling point was that Best Buy was having a deal where you get a $200.00 Xbox 360 w/ any 699.99+ laptop purchase - effectively taking $150 off the sale price when I sell on craigslist.

That being said, I'm no laptop expert, so these are the things I'm looking for in a laptop:

-No more than $700.00
-Sturdy, "not cheap" feel
-14-15.5 inch screen.
-Core i5 (but i3 is still okay)
-500+ GB hard drive
-Decent graphics (5000 series+ or equivalent)

Most important of those being that it's relatively thin and made with quality, non-cheap parts (I like the feel of the one I found in best buy)

Any comments/suggestions are much appreciated!

I wouldn't buy an HP (nothing against them but they're more expensive and run hotter than other brands). I find Toshiba laptops to be better (just my opinion).

Also desktops are better for gaming.
