The 17 yearold likes it just fine. It handles all her studies. (though I am sure she does alot more entertainment than studying)
Everytime I use it I am pleased with its performance.
Although it does need more memory. Vista takes up nearly the whole memory. I tried to load a driver for a small telescope camera and there was not enough room. $99 worth of memory should fix that though.
But overall I am pleased with it.
You cannot go wrong with a Dell. I would have bought her a Dell but I opted for the less expensive Compaq. For her needs it is fine.
Oh, OK. Thanks.
