    Is this Laptop deal worth it?


    Hello guys,
    My uncle is trying to buy a laptop and he only wants to use it casually. No gaming, just usual browsing, email and stuff.

    I found a good deal, at least from my point of view, what do you guys think? He wanted the price range to be around $400.

    My only issue is the batter but since he's not a heavy gamer it shouldnt be a problem. I talked to the tech for more specifications and he said that RAM is as is and it is not upgradable.

    There are 2 USB 2.0 ports
    1x VGA
    1x HDMI 1.3"
    1x headphone/speaker out
    3-in-1 Media Card Reader"
    1 Microphone

    Is this a good deal?

    For the purpose it looks like an OK deal to me. Especially the i3 is an asset.

    Here are a few at Newegg for comparison. http://www.newegg.com/store/SubCateg...=32&Tpk=laptop

    So, the total is 375? If it is, that's a hell of a bargain. Get a different HDD though; that one is crap.

    I think for the purpose, the HDD is OK. I would not change it unless I went for an SSD.
