My laptop died on me a couple of days ago. I found one for sale for $200 online but is it any good?

I'm probably going to get it in three hours if you guys say it's good.

NOOOOOOOOO....

Dont buy a old 45nm Intel cpu.
That thing is reaally old and even if it runs 2.3ghz thats probably slower than a modern cpu at 1ghz.
Also the power drain will be huge.

Even at that low price?

In any event, thanks. I'll probably pass.

If you must get one around that price, then go for something like this instead:

http://www.amazon.com/HP-Laptop-A6--Memory-Windows/dp/B017QDHENY/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1464098928&sr=1-6&keywords=laptop

 

Thats alot better value, even though its 263$.

It would be many times better at basically everything than that laptop you linked.

Thanks. I'm not that tech savvy when it comes to pc/laptop. I'll take your word for it. I'll order the one you linked to, instead.

Wow a 1.2ghz dual core for $1,300, why do people actually buy that. xD

I'm not really a laptop guy. I have a couple of tablets and a smartphone and a (admittedly shitty) PC. I just use the laptop for porn and piracy. I don't want to invest too much into it.
