Answer 3

Eh, it's fine. I'm assuming it's a net book seeing it uses the intel atom. It's the msi wind. I saw a review on G4 for this model. Well its no powerhouse and cannot play high def vids...at least not smoothly. My hp 311 has an nvidia ion and it still won't play high def. Anyway, for watching standard def vids on youtube. Word processing is perfect for this computer. You can play SOME modern games on it. To maximize performance, just set the theme to classic and it should take up SLIGHTLY less ram. That's about all you can do to get the most out of the machine.

Answer 4

The Intel Atom is the kind of processor use in netbooks, and it's mostly for web surfing and some word processing perhaps. It that's all you use your netbook for you're fine.

Don't expect the Atom to handle serious, demanding processing efficiently (video/audio processing, for example) or multi-tasking.

Memory wise you're OK.

Answer 5

while it is no powerhouse it should do you fine for web browsing and such and listening to music and watching online video.. the ram could be kicked up some possibly

Answer 6

For web browsing, And watching videos and youtube it's okay. Netbook?

Answer 7

its ok but windows 7 is better
