    its mediocre to be honest ... and im not sure about that display being xga its probably heinous ... it will get the job done for surfing and word processing and things like that ... the graphics are weak if your into gaming forget it ... the harddrive is ok ... if it was me i would look for stronger graphics and a clear and bright display ... especially ... did i mention the display? its worth an extra 100-200 bucks to get a good display ..and did i mention you dont want a crappy display?
