Q&A: Is this the right Laptop for me?

Question by Jane: Is this the right Laptop for me?
I want a machine that can be able to SERIOUSLY multi-task.I want to be able to download/stream a movie,play good games(nothing too serious though),chat online with multiple people,download music and have multiple tabs open on the internet,all at the same time.I want it to be lightweight,powerful and have a dvd drive.I use a sprint broadband card,and sometimes use wi-fi and wi-lan.

So I am deciding to build my own Laptop on the HP site.It’s a dv4t series.
These are the stats:
Operating system:
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Processor:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53 GHz, 3 MB L2 Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
Memory:
4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
Hard drive:
500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
Graphics card:
512MB NVIDIA GeForce G 105M
Display:
14.1″ diagonal WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)
Primary optical drive:
LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
Webcam:
Yes (idk what type)
Networking:
Wireless-G Card

HP Mobile Broadband (Choose either Verizon Wireless, AT&T, or Sprint, service activation required)
Primary battery:
12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
Modem Port:
Integrated 56K Modem
Productivity software:
Microsoft(R) Works 9.0
HP Care Pack Services:
1-year HP Care Pack Accidental Damage Protection Service
Weight:
5.08 lbs (I believe)

All for $ 1,265.96.

I also have an option to upgrade to a Lightscribe Blu-Ray ROM with SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW Double Layer for $ 150,should I do it? Honestly,I am not sure what I am doing when I am making a PC.I just want to know if this will suit my needs and also,is it a good PC for the price? I specifically wanted the ram and memory to be high.I like it that way lol.Though I want to know if all this is good.Any advice is helpful.Thank you in advance,God bless! 🙂

Thank you,bye 🙂
I would like to say that I am not interested in a Mac because though I love their look and “guts” the problem is that the OS is inconvenient for the applications and things I MUST have.Meaning I can not download certain applications I need with their OS.
