Hate to say it, but the low end of average. :( Dual core processor SOLDERED into the MB? I didn't know they even did that anymore. The VAST majority have a socket so you can upgrade.

And only a 500gb hard drive....my laptop has more than that.

Bah!! Who asked you?:p
 
yeaaaaaah, that's actually a fairly junky computer these days.
 
Yeah, it's got about the same amount of power as Intel's Atom processor line... so pretty much the very bottom end of what's out there. Seems like they stuck a low power low performance mobile chip mainly meant for netbooks and such in a desktop. What an cruel trick to play on the consumer (ono)
 
The question is: does it do what you need it to do? If it runs fast enough for your daily tasks and needs, that's all that matters. Me, I run a top line Mac. I have used Macs forever, as well as PC's. I'm not one of those Mac vs. PC guys. It's like trying to compare phillips head and flat head screwdrivers. Different tools for different needs.

Comparing computer power is just another form of comparing dick sizes. It doesn't matter. If your computer does what you need it to do, that's all that matters. If it doesn't do what you need it to do, then one can upgrade or buy a new machine.
 
My previous computer was a 7yo Dell Inspiron with Vista. I don't run a business. I just use it for downloading porn like just about any other man online whether they admit it or not. (95% of all men admit to masturbation. The other 5% are liars.)

I visit many gaming sites and download music and movies. This computer has Windows 7, which I've heard people say is just a souped up Vista, but for me, it runs awesome. It's much faster than my old computer, and has many little features that I love.
 
Well if all you're doing is downloading porn what you've got is fine. If you want to get a little more punch out of it, try throwing a low overheard linux distro on it like xubuntu.
 
Pretty much a bog-standard one, it's basically 'cheap component - reasonable performance' one that's been stamped out the factory, looks kinda like an eco-pc to me but there's so much variety when it comes to spec that it's hard to pin point an average really, but it's nothing special (no offence!).

I wouldn't worry if you get comments saying how little of something it has or how "slow" it is compared to others because that's just people of our materialistic society, if it works for you then there's no problem; Having the best performing or top spec of something now is material statement rather than functionality.

Can you imagine the setup Bill Gates must have? lol

What? You can download porn from the internet?? That is SO convenient, where do I sign up?

I believe Jedi is in charge of that.

You must not use a computer at work. Productivity is directly related to having a good performing PC.

Well, I don't have a job so that won't be an issue.
