    Then yes it is more than enough just for surfing the net and gfx. But if you are thinking about putting games on it, think again.

    Ouch, just saw the Battery Life, 1 hours is a little bit on the low side, you could probably manage to get one for the same price and almost same specs but with 3+ hours...

    Give me the link to where u found this laptop out, and give me a max budget of how much you can spend.

    Forgot to mention, on the one i posted, the only problem, is the drives on it are like half the speed as the other one, but if you are looking for speed go with the one i gave you, but if looking for more speed within the cds/dvds then go with the one you chose.
