With a laptop, you will get Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by age 13. Better stick to a desktop if you are not yet a road warrior.

Its a very good computer for a 10 year old. The kid should be able to play some god games easily. Its not a top of the line PC, but its fairly descent. I personally wouldn't recommend Vista yet. Also, like someone else mentioned you should get 2GB of RAM. Just to keep the speed going. Vista is memory intensive and with more RAM you also get more virtual memory which will be important for Vista. Overall its more than any 10 year old would need. It should run no more than $800. Try www.tigerdirect.com to match their price. Good Luck!!!

not bad as long as your not planning on any CPU/Memory intensive apps, like video etc. When working with a laptop, you have no room for growth. You have to get external everything to add anything. larger hard drive?? Going to rip or download music or movies?? Create videos? More RAM. Internet access? Network adapter (internal or via PCCard or USB) DVD movies or Gaming?? Larger screen or external monitor.. School?? external keyboard, printer, etc.. A desktop computer will typically be cheaper and more expandable, just not as mobile.

It's not bad. If you're going to use Windows Vista, then I'd recommend getting 2GB of RAM instead of just 1GB...otherwise it looks cool.

Wat i feel 10yr old asking questions among us a bit weird

Hate to burst your bubble but laptops have a normal "Operating Life" of about 3 to 5 years afterwards they become a "BRICK" the hardware is outdated and the OS would most likely be shot. I'd go with something a tad bit cheaper like a Dell Inspiron 1601.

For a 10 year old...a win 2000 Asus that they have in CADD labs is good for you...that is almost nearly yet not even close to a good PC but it should suite you fine...of course there are better computers than some Laptop with integrated graphics...that card (video card) won't do much gaming and you should really get a desktop with at least a 7600GT

it is a bit 2 much for a 10 year old boy... I agree with Dudas...
