Answer:
The specs that you listed will obviously be outdated soon. You are spending $300 for a used laptop i presumed. My advice is go buy a new one from frys.com, bestbuy.com or circuit city. Why? Because you can get a new laptop for $500 with 80Gb of hard drive space, 512/1Gb (1Gb if there's a promo) but most likely 512Mb and sometimes they also offers you free upgrade for DVD Rom to DVD R/RW. Trust me all you have to do is look on the internet plus you get 1 year of manufacturer's warranty if anything goes wrong.
not really...the ram and harddrive size leaves much to be desired. For another hundred dollars, you can get a better laptop on bestbuy.com.
you ask god or your parents
Its seems to be good for me ,you forgot to mention the brand ,any way its OK
300 bucks not bad... but with the upgrades that i would put it in your looking at maybe 500....
128 MB of RAM is pretty light for running any variation of Windows XP so that should be brought up to 512 MB if you do make the purchase. If you keep only 128 MB and run windows XP you are bound to experience just about slow everything. It will work, but it will be rather sluggish.
The hard drive being 40 GB can be filled pretty fast! Consider this, most laptops have the hard drive split into two separate partitions. One partition is reserved for your emergency restore, which basically is a compressed image of your operating system and all other software that comes with this new laptop. Usually the size of this hidden partition is between 2 to 10 GB so that leaves you with 30 to 38 GB to your C:, which is where your active installation files and OS are. Your operating system take up at least 3 GB of that space so that leaves 27 to 35 GB, now for the rest of the trial software and other junk that comes on the new computer should total to at least another 3GB so that leaves 24 to 32GB left to your use.
A 14.1" screen is small, but that can be beneficial in reduction of battery use so that means longer run time on battery.
You won't have any CD or DVD burning capability so that can be a bummer.
An ok graphics card to go with it, not too bad!
Wireless lan is a plus!
You can always upgrade your Hard drive and memory later so I would say $300 is a good price to pay for this equipment.
