now I waste my time here on the forum and rely on you guys to make a wise purchasing decision

[space-time]

I need a laptop for my inlaws. email, browsing, slideshows. They have a 600 MHz Pentium 2 I think, which is looong past it's useful life

I just got this email from office depot, and I saw one Compag for $400.

What do you think? I have no idea what to look for when it comes to laptops, I have not looked into which CPUs/Graphic cards are good and what to avoid. I used to read tech sites long time ago, now I waste my time here on the forum and rely on you guys to make a wise purchasing decision.

Any thoughts? Thanks a lot!
