My opinions is that if you can bargain for a 50 euros it would be a great for that price. Maybe, not 50, but maybe 30?! Depends on what your needs are and if it is someway upgradable.

That laptop is could be literally capable at any tasks but if you want a cheaper version then try to look for netbook however downgraded specs also.

A good Laptop is a type of a gift. If you want to use laptop for multiple purposes then you need to spend money to acquire a unique machine to help to give response according to your expectations. Lots of machines are available in local and international market.

Purpose?

What do you plan on doing with this laptop so we can get an idea on what specs you might need.

Will it just be a Facebook and regular website machine, some online banking/buying or do you plan on doing multiple heavy tasks on it? (gaming, virtual machines, multicore heavy use applications etc)
