it was good back in 09', I have that exact laptop and it is now a slow POS to be honest.
Not worth it. Would not recommend you to buy it

You couldn't really use it for anything other than web browsing and stuff like Word.

I personally wouldn't spend my money it on it.

For basic tasks, you may be better-off with a Chromebook. My biggest concern with this would be the battery life.

If you do get this or any older PC, you should consider installing a Linux Distro to stay up to date and fast.

+1 on Chromebook.

Got the Samsung one myself and it's an awesome piece of kit, especially for the money. It's synced with Chrome, browses the web like any other computer, has a 4-5 hour battery life and is super light (like a hard back book).
