60GB HDD is low for current standards.
A theoretical 1.5 hours of battery life would yield far less in real life.
3 USB ports is not bad, 4 or 5 would be better.
No firewire.

How does it compare in price to a core duo?

Well, my cost is pretty cheap really on that system, with a core duo being about twice that. I'm not real interested in big time performance, as all I do is work. Work on this, work on that, yada, yada, yada. If I was to get a system to play games with then this wouldn't be it. I do web work, company work, and other types of stuff, mostly things like Office apps, web apps, some image apps but other than that it's mostly email and such basic things.

If it is really cheap then it might be worth it, I'd ask for more HDD thou.

Na. I'll pull that one and install a 120GB drive and put the 60GB drive in one of my portable drive caddies. Besides, it'll lose Homer edition and install Pro anyway cause' Homer doesn't know dink about a domain. Still have a number of licences for being a Registered Partner.

That's a terrible battery life. Mine's under three hours and I thought that wasn't very good.
