well... for work you dont need a good computer at all so this will do it for you.

but if this was for personal use i would say that any computer under 2Ghz isnt worth it. only brings frustration
(i understand its dual core also... still not worth it)

I don't think you'll be doing much gaming on that. Sorry.

It may turn into personal use here and there. I will get a wireless network card (t-mobile or verizon) for web access on the road. My only concern is that it's being sold at a supermarket. Very odd but I don't want to count it out just because of that.

That laptop looks great for personal use - its specs look a lot like mine. However, the graphics card just isn't good enough for gaming.

Its not bad, but not at all made for gaming...you will be able to run some older games but probably nothing new really. Just load up Half-life 2, Diablo 2, and Civ 4...thats all you need.

Nothing wrong on the business side but don't expect to do any gaming besides casual on that.
