It all depends what you want to use it for.

PRO's:

Dual Core
2MB RAM
Decent storage (200GB)

CON's:

No HDMI output
No bluetooth
128MB graphics card

The thing to remember with computers is that the technology moves so quickly. As a result of this there is rarely any real bargains to be had. The drop in price is made up in some way, shape or form with each system.

This system would be more than adequete for word processing, watching DVD's, surfing the net etc. If you wish to use it for playing games however, I would advise a system with a far superior graphics card. Also, ensure that if you buy a laptop with Windows Vista included, that it has at minimum of 2gb of RAM.
