Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
That is a real piece of crap. For one, I would absolutely NEVER buy a computer at wally world. Two, it has very little RAM and it is way overpriced. Three, you don't get any type of service or support from wal-mart. Four, well, it's a PC, and for the price you could get an Apple. You need to go somewhere like CompUsa for a "decent" PC.

The brand is a generic... One thing to remember with laptops: Almost any part that fails will cost as much as the whole laptop, so BUY the extended warranty if they offer one. If they do not, then don't buy it.
256MB of ram is not really much these days. I suggest you shop for something with a minimum of 512MB. Also consider shopping for a larger hard drive. 40 Gig is ok, but in the price range you may do better.
If you take a look at dell.com they have a fairly cheap laptop that has about the same specifications this one does. You can also get a 3 year extended warranty there.
I have been fixing computers since 1982 and, trust me on this one, you do NOT want to have to pay for repairs on a laptop.
If you want to know the laptop I have seen have the longest usable life: The IBM thinkpad series. They are all the same basic black, so they aren't stylish, but they just keep going and going in my experience.

its a pretty good laptop if you plan on just dont casual things, like mainly internet and stuff, But if your going to be running like 4 or more programs like photo editing type stuff, its going to be slower. It doesn't have a lot of RAM only 256 MB, mine has almost triple that, and it was cheaper ($699 sale at staples.) Plus, that only has a 40 GB hard drive, mine is 60.
You could probably get it and upgrade the RAM on it, and it would be ok. The screen size is ok. You dont really need a huge one b.cuz for one, it will be heavy, and not to fun to carry around.
Overall it seems ok, if you get it, make sure you get a waranty!
BUT my advice would be to save up a little more and get a better one. You want it to stick around for awhile right! You mind as well get the works put on it!
Good Luck!
