I have the opportunity to buy one for $400. It has an Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, a GeForce 320M GPU, and a 250GB HDD. I plan to upgrade the RAM to 4GB and possibly get an SSD to speed it up.
I am not sure if it's a good deal though.
I only plan to use it for web browsing, word processing, videos, and maybe a little bit of programming (if it can handle it, that is). Can anyone who owns one of these give me an idea of how this laptop performs?
Thanks
Edit: Also, how would this compare to a 2010 MacBook Pro? I found one for $430 with identical specifications (same GeForce 320M too, did not expect that) except for 4GB RAM already installed. Only visible difference besides that is the aluminum body compared to the MacBook's plastic body.
