    looks pretty good the graphics card may be lacking if you want to run high performance games. seems like a good deal. i understand that the 3.4Ghz is rated differently for each company so dont get to excited over the sound of a 3.4 processor. does look like a good deal for that amount though, take into mind that this is a refurbished system so that could mean different things, it wont be brand new like the pretty picture shows thats for sure

    The P4 would be my 2nd to last choice in notebook CPUs right after the Celeron D.
