Considering it's nearly 10 years old... It certainly seems fine. No idea about the price though.

What sort of assignment is this?

Computing Essentials

the task says

Is the price competitive for the specification given?

but compared to modern laptops the answer is no, but since it came out 2002 it might referring to that year plus one of the resource links says 2002

So what your saying is. The school/college can't afford up to date text books!

No one can answer that as no one can remember the prices of those components. If it was 10 years ago, then no problem.

Stupid question! (from the book, not you)

I'd give an answer saying otherwise. They can't possibly expect anyone to remember prices from thereabouts.
