Not bad depending on what you want to do with it. It would make a nice “surfer” for getting on the net.

The Sempron processor isn’t bad at all. A little light on cache, but it runs circles around its Celeron competitor. It’s a single core CPU, but it does a good job.

The graphics on that rig (XGA) are fairly low and only capable of a display resolution of 1024x768, so no HD quality on video playback.

Speaking of video, the ram is too low for decent playback, but 512 isn’t bad a surfer, but you’ll probably have problems with streaming video sites like YouTube. it will play, but you’ll be plagued with lag, stuttering, etc.

With no CD/DVD drive, you’ll be hard pressed to load new software or music. But you can easily get around that with a decent thumb drive and the laptop’s USB port. Or you can buy a cheap external DVD drive to plug into the USB port.

You won’t be playing many games or watching too many videos with this one, but at 299.00 and free shipping, it would make a great surfer for browsing the net, checking email, etc.....just avoid streaming video and it should be fine. If you have a wireless network in your house, this would make an awesome second unit to carry with you for casual net surfing and browsing forums.
