That will do really well for internet browsing. You gettin a good deal on it? I would geuss it's not worth more than 400. Probably about 200-300. But i'm guessing. It has old ddr ram, so it is atleast 4 years old. Well, i'm rambling here, so good luck.

i bought an old compaq Armada 2100 off ebay for $60, 700mhz, 8gb hd, 512mb ram. had my buddy clean it up and put win xp on it and the thing worked perfect for tunning and moves pretty quick for browsing the internet.

The specs on that laptop is more than needed for tuning programs, etc...

I bought an old *** IBM with only 4gb hard drive for tuning with crome... the ---- died before I even got to tuning my car with it though. But the previous owner has done stuff with it before being sold to me. Basing it off that, I'd say that laptop you're looking at is more than qualified to do any of the jobs.

It will handle those jobs like whoa.

Especially if you format the OEM install and throw on a fresh ungarbaged one.
