core 2 duo processors are two generations old...

In fact that gpu is pretty old tech too. Is it used?

I'm going to go with a no on the good value front.

If your going for it because you want to play games your going to have to spend more. If games don't matter you can get a better one for your money so it's another no for that as well.

Compal is an ODM (original design manufacturer) - they have worked with Acer, Dell, HP ect in the past. That is a whitebook - a chassis designed to be rebranded.
