$300 for Gateway NV51B08U Refurbished Notebook PC = "GOOD Deal"??

Hoping someone would be willing to point-out what they see as "weaknesses" in this deal.

From what I see (other than it being "refurbished", which I don't believe is too troubling?):

Negatives

1. Not sure about Gateway Laptop/Notebook QUALITY in general?
2. 1.0 GHz processor (seems slow to me?).
3. 3 GB of RAM, no idea if this is the MAX possible (RAM expandable??).

Positives

1. Dual Core (?)
2. 64 Bit (more secure?)
3. Windows 7 Home PREMIUM (surely must beat my Vista?)

Think of it as a big, heavy netbook with mediocre battery life - or, as an under powered, medium sized laptop.

Would either fit your needs?

 

Hah! Thank you...I KNEW I could count on a MG~"Extraordinaire" for a G00D, Solid answer!

Thanks again...
