its not bad. you might be able to find better for cheaper if you shop around a little bit. where are you getting it from?

have you tried any other websites such as bestbuy or circuit city. sometimes they have better deals. you might wanna check and see if they have any sales going on.

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.

Well the most I want to spend is around $600 for a laptop thats decent for a bit of gaming and for some word stuff.
