I bought a 6400 for my wife with 25% off coupon. It has been good for the last month or so that we have had it.

Your specs are lower so I don't think it is as good a deal.

Remember to think about what you are using it for. For my wife, this one would have been fine as well since she only does word, excel, powerpoint, email and surfing the web.
