    Operating system
    Genuine Windows® XP Home Edition
    Memory
    512MB 400Mhz DDR SDRAM (WAS 256MB)
    Harddrive
    40GB
    Monitor
    15.4" Wide Aspect UltraSharpT WXGA (1280X800) Screen
    Graphic Card
    Intel® GMA 900 shared graphics memory up to 128MB
    Optical Drive

    I basically need it for digital music, word processing etc and maybe the odd game of Football manager. Think it suits?

    God no, that laptop spec is awful. Stay away from celerons, upgrade to a centrino and get a dedicated graphics card.

    I'm doing some music and graphics editing for my course and am partial to football manager myself. This is the laptop I've ordered:

    if you're using it for college and your college has Wi-Fi i'd suggest you get Win Xp Pro so you can log in to the wi-fi
