"features the Intel P2 processor that's fast enough for virutally all of today's most exciting and popular computer games... "

My computer illiterate co-worker was so excited about this thing, she got one also. I had to really talk her out of it, I showed her a Dell ad with specs to get her mind of the damn thing. It is sad they mislead so much.
