Celeron.. YUCK, that old P4 will run circles around those laptop Celerons.

64 Gig of non upgradable storage, nope, non starter, especially when you factor in MS's insistence of constant 6 month "refresh" upgrades, the first win10 upgrade that gets pushed to this will choke and fail because you do not have enough disk space.

There IS a reason these things are given away, they are junk to start with. OPs old P4 is a better machine to start with..

If you are going to buy a laptop, pass up these cheapies, they are nothing more than a Chrome book knockoff with crippled Win10 OS..

I have a 4 year old NextBook 2-in-1 that I purchased at Walmart for $100. It came with Windows 8.1 that I upgraded to Win 10. Here are the specs:

CPU: Intel Atom BayTrail-T CR, Quad core/1.8GHz
Operation system: Windows 8.1
RAM: DDR 1GB
Internal Memory: EMMC 32 GB
Interfaces: USB 2.0 / Micro SD (up to 64GB)

I have it mounted on my console and I run Microsoft Streets & Trips and play out music and audio books with it. It has performed flawlessly.

I haven't had a chance to mess with the Gateway much yet, but I am quite impressed. It's more than capable of doing the basic stuff like browsing the internet, email, watching movies and TV shows. Thankfully Gateway doesn't put much bloatware on the system. There are a couple of games and a trial version of Microsoft Office. I did an update which was fairly extensive and it not 'choke'. 64GB of storage is certainly limiting, but for normal use it's adequate. The OS takes up 32GB. If you need more storage you can add a micro SD card.
