Not really...


1.NO Operating System is installed..????


2. The processor is..so-so You want at least 1.8GB min more is much better..


3. The RAM total is way below even min. 1 or 2GB min~


4.The Wireless setup only supports one 802.11b networking standards, and it's the slowest one to boot~!(get one with all four networks if you can, like 802.11a/b/g/n)


5.The HARD DRIVE, 20GB, is so small as to be almost useless.Get 120GB min...


You do plan to keep this for awhile?


Look, let's not go any further..This setup is not worth your money..You can do better for your money..

ATI Radeon 9000 128MB Video

Reply:the hard drive is a bit small (the smallest ipod (6th gen) is 80 gb ) the processor is a tad slow , and its a bit low on ram , but if you install ubuntu (no viruses , faster , more secure, free) and put a bigger hard drive (fairly cheap) you should be fine speed wise for hat you need.
Reply:I think you should at least upgrade to1GB DDR-2 SDRAM with 160 GB Hard drive. If you wanna upgrade. Go to sim lim sq, there is a shop call 'best bargain". there all able to assist you my frez..If I am not wrong the shop should locate at 3rd flr..
