Splendid
The CPU is not a Celeron. Its an AMD64 single-GPU class chip, its given the Sempron name because its LOW-END by todays standards. Its performance is slight better than a desktop Pentium 4 630 (3.0Ghz).
It runs Vista okay. Its IMPORTANT to know if this notebook includes the FREE upgrade to Windows7 (which would help). For $300, its a good deal. It's NOT a $500~700 notebook... but for $300, not bad.
Acer has a notebook that normally goes for about $350, the Acer Aspire 5515. which is an Amd Athlon 2650e 1.6ghz... and its EASILY slower than this Compaq.

For $300, not bad at all.
