It depends on what you want to do with it. Celeron processors are the bottom of the heap chip wise.

I decided to say fuck it and move back with the grandparents.
I got somebody to come look at the car tomorrow to im asking 750 for it.
Im gonna be stacking a shitload of money up there.

Just don't burden ur grandparents. They need their time too.

dont get it... as a matter of fact I wouldnt buy any computer that isnt an apple for the next 6 months...
and im not pimping apple either.
why is this you ask?

there is now only one major manufacturer of IBM-based PC's in north america, and there name is foxconn.
foxconn produces the pc's and loads them with software and puts them in there brand appropriate packaging.
they manufacture, under liscence, Dell, Gateway, Acer, and many many other names you see on the shelves at best buy and wal mart.
the same conglomorate has another company, called GenCo, that handles all the returns and reclamation from the same brands.
genco is also a client of mine....
So foxconn just moved 100% of there production to mexico.
I know this because I set up a considerable amount of there automated control systems for there plant in juarez.
this plant is quite possibly the filthiest manufacturing facility i have ever set my eyes on, and the hygiene of most of the workers is extremely poor, the plants sewer system is soo bad they are not allowed to flush toliet paper... you can see the flies before the smell hits you, its pretty bad.
also the local conditions in juarez are not exactly the best for an electronics manufacturer, sand, dust and grime are the way of things there.(however the local economy is great! they pay 8$ a day for skilled production workers, 6$ for general labor) since this is 'a brand new facility' (mebbe during the spanish american war) they have problems with establishing protocols and proper filtration systems to keep this dust out. they know this, but are in full operation to get production up to pay for the plant...

at the end of the day you will appreciate my comment if you by that computer.

"mac users swear by their computers, whilst PC users just swear at theirs!"

Acer are pretty bog standard, if all you want to do is surf the net then it will be fine, poor processor.

If he wants to surf the net....get a netbook. They have some seriously good ones out now.

my payment was denied
Amazon better e mail me back soon.
But I think i'll cancel it and get the hp the guy said in like the first post.

i get the impression money is the main factor though and acer are cheap...arent netbooks screens smaller?

I use an HP laptop just for the web, they have nice big screens for a very reasonable price.

Hang on...... and yes they are smaller but not by much.

lol the mac im using now is only 10" its the power book g4.It was free so I had to take it.

my hp laptop has a 17'' screen 4 gigs and cost £200.....Dabs.com cheapest on the web, dont know if they supply the US though. You can also get great deals on recon and returns. I has a Sony that had a scratch on the touchpad and cost half price.
