Damn, that's a really killer price for a MyFirstLaptop.

Will handle basic office/student tasks just fine, just make sure you keep anything important backed up...

For $160, can't even be too mad if it suffers serious battery degradation or shuffles off after a couple years.

These entry-level laptops "open up" so much with more than 4GB of RAM, which is still all-too-common in the under-$300 range of new laptops at, say, Walmart.com. (An actual not-too-bad place to get mainstream laptops.)
