It looks to me like a perfectly good laptop with 1 GB of RAM, core duo processor, and a 120 GB hard drive. I think the clock speed is a bit slow, I'm not sure though. The only other potential problem is that it comes with Windows Vista Business. You may want to consider buying 1 GB more of RAM just to make sure it runs smoothly. Other than that, I believe you're in pretty good shape.

[superaymond]

the price is 1099 cdn, do u think it is a good deal'?

[Brandon_7]

Is cdn Canadian dollars? If so, I think that's a pretty good deal.

[das1330]

Its an ok deal, but you can do better by going to a store. The 1 gig of ram in particular is a little low for its price point.

[cheeserrat]

yeah really try to get one with 2g ram because it really helps for that price you should be able to get one

DO NOT GET VISTA I REPEAT DO NOT

 

 

 

if your getting it wipe your computer with a windows 2000 disk vista is a pig, I reccomend using 10gig+ of RAM with vista. It's really bad.

I really hope you joking. That was the most uneducated post I have read on here in a long time.

[Sparkells]

Why...?

[blade995]

Why...?

 

 

 

First of all you recomended Windows 2000, which is old and everybody would argue atleast to get Windows xp.

 

 

 

You called Vista a pig with no reasons behind it. Then you recommended 10+ gigs of ram to run Vista which it not true. You can run premium perfectly fine on 2gigs of ram or less. Vista is not that much of a ram hog.
