but Celeron processor.....that's why its only 300 bones.

[Software_Lover]

I said nevermind, LOL. But yeah, surfing the web, office, would probably work fine.

[JsonHenry]

Yeah, not too shabby a price even for a celeron.

[zeeshan]

It's a great deal for students! Man, notebooks are getting cheaper every day!

[badkolo]

who cares if its a celeron, for basic surfing and such at 300 bones this aint bad at all.

a perfect extra laptop and a perfect gift.

i'm a noob at this but whats wrong with the Celeron, is it not reliable or somethin?

[ReBurn]

Celerons are reliable for light duty computing tasks. But they don't hold up well for processor-intensive applications like photo editing or software development.

[ambientFLIER]

A Celeron is perfectly fine. Yeah, it's not as fast as a Pentium 4, or whatever, but it's still a 2.2ghz. It will be more than enough, unless you are going to play games.

Best Buy has a $349 Acer laptop with 3GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, an AMD Athlon CPU and Windows 7 Home Premium. If you're going to spend $300 on this you might as well spend the $50 and get the better deal from Best Buy.

I picked up the Acer BB had for $349 and so far I have loved it.
