Is this a good buy?

A local shop is running a sale and I was wondering if these were good deals for the cost:

Laptop--15.4" widescreen, AMD Athlon CPU, 2 gigs DDR2 SODIMM memory, 160 gig SATA hard drive, DVD burner drive, 5-in-1 Media card reader, wireless G built-in. $529 can upgrade to 4 gig RAM for $609 total.

Laptop-- 17" widescreen, Intel Core2Duo, 2 gigs DDR2 SODIMM RAM memory, 160 gig SATA hard drive, DVD burner DL, 5-in-1 Media Card reader, Wireless G Built-in. $849 can upgrade to 4 gig RAM for $929 total.

Tough to say without CPU speeds or even a mention of a GPU.
