That's pretty decent for school/internet work and such. Not something for gaming, though. Do you keep these or are they lending them out?

I wish my school gave me stuff... BTW do you go to a 30k private school or something?

lol...the HP tablets are ok, but the screen suck....much love goes to Toshiba for their M200 series which are, hands down, the best tablet pc's out there...

no, your machine will not be an incredible gamer, but...it's a good, mid-range to low-range pc.

cheers,

dave

It's OK, how much are you actually paying for this "free" laptop?
