I have an Alienware M5700 Series - Model P71EN1 computer with XP Home O/S and I want to know?

If I have no info stored om this machine, though it has M/S Windows XP, what would be the downfall of using this for surfing the net only?

Thank you for any and all input.

Respectfully submitted in earnest.

Oh, it's a Area 51 Laptop computer with wifi that is.
