    To be completely honest with you, I wouldn't pay more than $200 for that, including shipping if they have to ship it.

    Processor is slow. Low amount of RAM to basically do near nothing. No graphics really... SLOW and SMALL hard drive. Also a relatively small battery.

    For me, I wouldn't buy it. What do you want? Just a portable word processor, email and web browsing machine. Because thats all your going to get out of it, and barely...web browsing may cause issues with web media etc.

    I would pay $120 for it. But thats just because I would rather pay more and get something worth getting...

    What OS is it running? Are you willing to upgrade to 1 GB of RAM. Does it support 2 sticks of RAM and are both of those slots filled with 2x256 or is it just 1x512... Are you willing to upgrade to a faster/larger hard drive if needed? A larger battery if you need more battery life?

    I wouldn't pay more than 250$ for it. Like Draxius said, it's pretty slow on all points. Don't plan on using it for more than internet surfing and school work. 0% gaming possibility whatsoever
