I would say depends on the condition of the system. You can shop around and get them new with a full warranty for about 550. However, since you have a warranty you don't like the performance just send it back....

Depends on what you're going to use it for. Anything really modern or cpu intensive, graphics, online, whatever, it's probably going to be too slow to be useful, if not at least annoying as hell.

However if you're doing writing and general business tasks, it's probably going to be fine. I certainly wouldn;t have paid anymore than that. It's probably about 2 or 3 year old technology.

Will definitely be ok for entry level stuff. Nothing too taxing on the CPU, however.
