Ok i know a little about Pcs and laptops,

At the moment what i know is my Fianceés lappy is on its last legs,

I found this for €288

She just needs it for College work and maybe playing the sims 3/aion and watching anime online

With these specs is it a good deal?

We do have a high end pc for gaming at home but if it could run some games for her that would be handy

Thanks for the help guys

It's not going to run any games at all, it would struggle with anything in the last 6/7 years imo.

I just got my netbook to run Medal of Honour allied assault...it was released in 2003!

you could get a proper 15inch laptop 4 360euro approx, maybe centrino single core cpu 2gigram ,160gb disk.HARVEY norman advertised a sale laptops 360euro, i ,m not sure is it still on.NETBOOKS are not designed for gaming .
in the april sale toshiba laptop celeron dvdrw,windows 7 was 439euro.OR LOOK on dell.ie laptops.
