    2GB ram is low. A larger HDD would be better also.

    What will you be using it for?
    This will give us an idea of whether these specs are suitable for your needs.

    Also, if you included the price. folks here are brilliant at recommending better alternatives at the same or cheaper price.

    The processor is not even of the current generation. For 500 yoyos you'll get a 3rd generation Core i5 processor with 4 GB RAM.

    make one to your own specifications, much better value especially if you already have an OS
