Well, yeah, that's why I said that it would be good for most people. Your average computer user uses their system to browse the Internet, play music, check e-mail, and use things like Office. A system like that is perfect for those tasks. I could probably swap it with my mom's laptop (a 1.5 year old Dell Inspiron E1505 with a Core Duo) and the only thing that she'd notice is that the OS looks a bit different (i.e. XP instead of Vista).
