Strengths: Low noise, seems reliable and sturdy, looks good
Weaknesses: Needs more memory, preloaded software is a drag
Summary: I bought this computer because, I needed one for basic needs and my current one died. So, I was looking for a reliable one and did not want to spend a lot of money. This machine fit the bill.

After I bought it home, I noticed it is very slow... Because I know about computers, I started looking to see what is taking up all the resources. The culprit is Norton AV. Once I figured out how to remove it (the default remove program will throw errors and you have to download a removal tool from symantec!), it works great.

Remember though I use it mostly for basic purposes, browsing connecting to work, various IM/Chat programs. I think I can get some more performance if I do start doing something fancy on this by upgrading RAM.

If you don't play video games or do lots of photo/video editing, this system fits the bill (economically and performance wise).

Strengths: connects to internet well out of the box, easy to set up and run, great price
Weaknesses: not enough memory. you'll have to add 1GB of RAM to have this system run well
Summary: Computer ran dog slow, even without Norton AV installed. The base system has only 512 MB and Vista takes up 574MB!! which means it's doing a lot of disk writes to cache things. I installed 1.5 GB and it was a different system, running very well/fast as you'd expect from the processor speed. Caution: Kingston memory works on this thing, but Samsung memory didn't.
