Just general use. MAYBE gaming as well. something like combat arms, starcraft 2 Ragnorok. Nothing thats HIGH end gaming thats why i have amy desktop for.
From what I have read, it's not a bad notebook feature wise. It is definitely not a gamer and the big complaint on it in most of the reviews I've seen is the very short battery life.
Yes, i have read it as well. 2 hours MAX of life... not good. But it runs Well under pressure. ill upgrade it to 4 gigs since its vista. Ill probly downgrade to XP seeing its easier for this laptop to run as well.
Before considering on installing XP, be sure to see if there are any available drivers. Many systems created to run Vista do not have drivers compatible with XP.
