Good price for a laptop?

It's refurbished (obviously), and it's about 4 years old (the T30 came out in 2002 correct)?

But my brother only needs it for internet and word processing. Good deal?

Fark no.

You can get a new Dell Pentium M, wifi, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB HD, DVD burner, 1 year warranty for $499 today in ther "10 days of deals."

That pokey Pentium 4 critter even has USB 1.1 instead of 2.0.

Thank you. When do they run these 10 days of deals? Or how do I access these deals?
