"insanely fast"
Benchmark please.
You know what? You can get a new laptop with the latest i3 that is way faster than a 4 year old i7 for a little more than that, and it comes with a warranty. Yes, warranty is actually useful for many people. And most Windows laptops are worth little after 3 years, so this $300 laptop probably is only good for donations after a few more years.
(If you have any questions, check out reviews, benchmarks and eBay. I speak from my own experience.)
