Good offer, it can be made more better by having 2 GB ram. what do you think?
In my opinion this looks like a pretty bad computer… 1GB Ram? Vista would crawl. Even XP with music playing would be slow. The resolution on the computer is kinda low too. 1.6 Ghz CPU isnt gonna get you much either. And it’s not even dual core. Still if the price is low, it wouldn’t be bad for a kids. However it would be better to just teach your kids to build a computer and give them a budget of 600 or so. On that kind of a budget you could easily build a computer that would be faster then this. It would even be able to run games decently.

I guess this is tailored for very basic usage such as internet browsing, chatting, and a few Microsoft Words tasks. You don’t really want to build a powerful computer so your kids can play on it
There was a loan unit available to give a try but I just couldn’t be bothered in taking care of the return so I refused the offer.
Yea that’s what it looks like. I’m happy to see that Intel is using their new chip. It’s a good start since the atom is quite an innovation and hopefully Intel will continue to improve it.
And why wouldn’t you want your kids playing on your computer? If you show them how to properly use it, and what they should stay away from (any and all reformat options) they’ll be fine. Its a lot better to show them what to and not to do (and how to do it) then for them to sneak on it and do something stupid because you didn’t show them how to use it in the first place. Of course that’s just how I look at it.
