For 130 you probably can't go wrong

Only got it to run a webcam hooked up to a telescope.

Considering you can't even buy a decent tablet for $130.....

It's going to come with 2GB of RAM and a tiny HDD.

The HDD you can probably live with, but the RAM is going to suck something fierce.  Install 8GB ASAP.

You must post pics immediately upon receiving it and getting the thing all set up and working.

Failure to do so will result in the most severe consequences.

Says it has win 8...If it doesn't have a windows disc then I can image the hard drive then load up my copy of Win 7 or go back to win 8. Whatever, looks pretty close to what I use at work, I can add another 4 gigs of memory if it needs it.

I have been running a Dell C2D for about four years now, it was my daily use laptop until I upgraded to a "new to me" $299 Latitude with a 2nd gen i7 in it earlier this year.  That C2D Dell still sits on my kitchen counter and is used daily.  I put a T7200 in it and 4GB RAM, I switch between WinXP and Linux Mint.  I have three other C2D laptops, two of which are Dells, both run like tops.  One was my firewall/router for a while until I built up an esxi server.

Great laptops, super easy to work on, tons of cheap parts available on that lame auction site.

But if you are planning on doing HD video with an USB webcam on that telescope.... well the USB ports on mine aren't exactly speed demons.

It showed up...Think it had a bigger hard drive than what I ordered but it works. Does what I want, and i upgraded it to windows 10. Can't get the bluetooth to work with windows 10 from what I see but don't use it anyway. I'm satisfied, runs my camera that I want to use with my telescope.
