Someone at my office is selling laptops. I am assuming it's refurbished. I'm looking for something just for e-mail and surfing the web, chatting, etc. A friend of mine (a computer tech) told me the system wouldn't be very fast and isn't worth the $125 asking price. Wouldn't it be good enough for basic chatting, web surfing and e-mailing?
