No it is not that simple.

Is it worth buying a Jaguar car? It is if you can afford it, but is it worth it if all you will be doing is driving to and from the shops? Would you buy a Fiat Punto if you were a salesperson who drives all over the country for a living?

From the limited specs you have posted, the laptop sounds like a high-end model. If you only intend surfing the net and writing the odd e-mail, then only you can answer if it is worth it. Personally, I wouldn't recommend HP laptops after the amount of trouble I have had with mine.

but surely you could say that its good value for money or not, i mean, if id specified a use whatever, but i didnt, so i just wanted to know, in general, as a laptop, with these specifications at this price, is it good value.
