I think that it is the best for its price

That's pretty nifty for only $300, just don't expect to do any hardcore 3-D stuff.

yeah, i'll just use a external HDD and my mom's desktop

Not a good laptop, but a great deal for only 300.

Well, you'll be able to at least run Blockland on the thing.
Get it, it's a nice deal for $300.

I agree with Miga. If you're only concerned with doing a couple of things with it, go as cheap as you can.

I can't promise that laptop will last that long though.
Semi-premium laptops generally last 3-4 years at most, unless you're a good owner :)

not really, he probably has a newer multi-core processor

I'm currently using the same one.

Is it good? DETAILS MAN DETAILS

It's pretty nice. If you can, while at the store ask for a few upgrades to the RAM and change the video card.

I'm using one that's practically identical (Satellite L305) and I love it. It works just fine for anything I'd need to use it for. After around 20k bricks you'll start lagging though.

My experience with Celeron and Toshiba Laptops; >:(

But it was old crappy and had really bad RAM.
