Yuck! A CELERON processor!
That is the reason as to why it is so cheap.
Celeron is a stripped down processor with less built in Cache memory and is gutless.
You do realize we are talking about A NEW LAPTOP with a 500gb hd usb 3.0 HDMI and 4GB of ram for $130 or $107 don't you?
For surfing the net which is exactly what Mex needs this for (I think) this would be purrrfeect.
You can buy a Atom quad core Tablet with Android for the same price and it WILL easily out run that "Celeron".
Celerons are cheap due to very little built in "cache" memory plus it only has "L2" cache plus NO "L3" cache plus less than half the side bus speed.
You would not know this unless you work with much faster processors.
Will it work? Sure but it isn't really buying much speed for the money. You can easily find i3 dual cores laptops for around $250 and right now is a good time to watch for sales might be able to land a quad core for a good price due to back to school deals.
Buy cheap, get cheap, as long as you are happy I am fine with it, but Celerons are not all that great of a deal and if you are in the market you may as well spend a bit more and get a better processor.. Pretty darn hard to "upgrade" a laptop processor unless you really are into unsoldering the chip..
