Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Price, if you can find it for less than $280.
Weaknesses: Basic system.
Overall Evaluation: The first thing that needs to be done with this system is removal of the oem bloatware, which can be quickly with readily available freeware. Then, it should have its system memory upgraded to at least 1.5gb. Considering that 512mb & 1gb DDR2 sticks can be acquired for next to nothing after rebate, this shouldn't add much cost to the purchase.Other than those minor annoyances (which are pretty much inevitable with such an inexpensive system), the specs are good for websurfing, media playback & creation, office productivity, & light gaming.
