Pretty good computer for a pretty good price. Make sure youre careful if using P2P software when downloading music, esp if you have your homework on the computer. We get hundreds of calls every day because of viruses where work or homework is lost.

Not so good a deal.
There are many configurations of new Dell computers close to this or the same and with 17" - 19" monitors for between $700 and $900 including a warranty.
I would always shop new Dell since they are really cheap.

itz a gud computer 4 doing skool work, watchin movies, downloading stuff... etc... don't wrry if itz refurbished, i got a refurbished computer, and it works as good as new... just install an antivirus software... you can get them legally and free from www.filehippo.com... AVG anti virus is a good anti virus so u can download that.. if hardware upgrades are costing u money, therez no need 2 do that because the default configuration is good 2... your computer is pretty gud and should work pretty fast... i have and advice for you, don't download too many programs because it makes the computer slower... if u download them uninstall them... you will need microsoft office and my frnd told me that it is built-in in windows vista but you'll need a key so that u can use it (if one of your frndz is gud at computers, ask them how 2 get a key, they'll tell u wat 2 do)... email me if u need further help...

thats a very good computer for the price. with the 2gb of memory in it it should be fairly speedy.
