I bought a laptop and just got interested about this. The price was about 600 euros which is something about 820 dollars atm. Here are all the pieces of data I found with program called Speccy:

Too lazy to write so here's a screenshot: Specs

Hope that someone will tell me :)

EDIT: Is this even close to run.. WoW for example?

Personally, I think you've paid too much. For that much you should have at least a dual-core processor these days, certainly not a cheapie-celeron. Nice chunk of RAM though and a hefty hard-drive. I don't think you've been had but perhaps just not got the best of what you could for your money.

Any hope of gaming? – Martti Laine Mar 11 '10 at 14:57
An on-board chipset isn't going to be much cop for any graphic-intensive gaming, especially if it isn't backed up by a meaty processor. Sorry dude. It's not an awful spec, just perhaps not a gaming machine... – Smalltown2000 Mar 11 '10 at 15:03

I think it worth the price if the graphics and CPU would just be a bit better. It's not a bad laptop but you may lag a bit playing high-res graphics games like WoW.

I would have pay... 500 euro. Not more. Well, hope you'll enjoy it anyways! :)

Hard to choose right answer, though. – Martti Laine Mar 11 '10 at 15:02

I would say you paid over the odds.

Memory is at the low end of DDR2 - 400MHZ, but made up for the fact you have 4GB

Hard drive is 5400RPM - Budget/Low power laptops only, low performance.

Graphics is on board, not really BAD, but certainly not excellent - don't expect to play the latest games etc.

CPU - Celeron... If upgrading from a high end machine that was over 4 years old, it is more than likely more powerful than that - but bad by today's standards.

I personally would class it as an entry level laptop and would expect to pay around ~£350 for that specification (with a 15" screen, possibly slightly more if either a larger screen or smaller screen / well constructed net book - with wireless and Bluetooth)

Okay :P It has 17" screen btw. – Martti Laine Mar 11 '10 at 15:04
I would give slightly more then - anyways, sorry for the bad news, but enjoy your new laptop! – William Hilsum Mar 11 '10 at 15:06
5400RPM hard drive is for Mainstream laptops. 7200 RPM is only for high performance use when battery life is not important. – netvope Mar 11 '10 at 15:12
