It is a Celeron M which there is nothing wrong with. I have never heard of that company but it is cheap. Only real downside I see is that it is heavy.

If you carry it infrequently and with short distances, then may be. If you are carrying it around all day, then it is going to be heavy.
The Model M is not for the faint of heart. You either like them or hate them.

I love their description on the website

"512MB PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM for multitasking power"

But thats not a bad deal for what you get.

Im still waiting for a core 2 duo. =(
