Too slow for me... Decent for my mom...but only decent.
Pros: It was cheap. That much I can remember.
It has a DVD+RW drive for the price.
It has media card reader* (A real plus to me)
Cons: This thing runs too hot for a factory unit.
(the processor speed just doesn't do the job of having a 2nd thread. I think that when they sold the computer they were overrating it to get you to buy it...
I know I'm being critical because well, buy a cheap computer get a cheap computer and I sound like I'm comparing it to dual ad quad cores, but here is my feelings on it...
WHY not just spend the extra $200??? and get something that's at LEAST good.
Now, as for this time and age... I highly do NOT suggest the purpose of this computer. The obvious reason being that as time goes on newer stuff gets cheaper and there is a better solution for **$200** out there if you know where to look.
Well that is my $.02.

Escellent PC
Pros: DVD-RW, cheap PC, includes: PC Angel PC restoration software, Nero Startsmart, free 6-month subscription to AOL, 8-in-one digital media reader. This PC has a few excellent upgrade compatabilities.
Cons: No restore CD's, no PCI-E, or AGP slots on the motherboard so you can't upgrade to a recent videocard. But the Intel integrated graphics can handle that I geuss.
