For cheap systems, stay away from Dell. All of their cheaper ones have been nothing but junk. Midrange systems are ok, high end are more overpriced.

Well for $538, you're not really asking for much and you're definitely not going to get much. If you've got your heart set on that model, I would definitely spend a little bit more just for the Pentium M chip. You'll get a lot of power and extra battery life.
