pay the extra and buy a laptop with a better processor, anyone remember emachinesuck.com website? I do!. A celeron is a crippled Pentium no arguments, I am right less level 1 and level 2 cache= slower 1 gig of ram is not enough for vista, do not buy it! I have been a pc engineer for 22 years. I have an acer it is a million miles away from that crud.
