It really depends on what you want to do. Yes, it'll handle moderate gaming... though that isn't the fastest processor in the world.

A lot of it comes down to cost. What sort of deal are you getting on that?

Some other machines to consider:

sounds good to me for basic computing. first thing i'd do though is uninstall Norton and get AVG anti-virus and Ad-Aware for internet protection. if you need a firewall get ZoneAlarm it works better than most software firewalls.

That's a pretty decent computer. The video card (ATI Mobility Reader) is junk and will not let you play games. If you're not wanting to do any graphics-intensive stuff, this'll be great.

However, don't spend more than $850 on it. I just bought a laptop just like this except with a nice GeForce8400 video card for $820 after taxes from Dell.

If you're wanting a good laptop deal (if you decide to not go with this one), go to Dell's website and look under SMALL BUSINESS. Take a look at the Vostro series. The 1400 or 1500 would be comparable/better to what you've listed here.

why spend money on a laptop when you can get it for free? just go to this site and complete a few quick tasks and they'll send you a sony vaio laptop at no charge!
