It is an intel (I don't know the exact specs because he is using it right now). It is mainly a browser/netflix/homework/science project machine, he does, however, game on it. And I mean WINE game. Simpsons Hit and Run, Starwars Battlefront 1 & 2, he is really into Spore now a days. He does play Simcity 4000 or whatever the old one is from time to time. I was considering an upgrade or giving him my 13 macbook pro when I get something new. We've had it for 3 years and I can't ask of more from something that I got for 200$ on craigslist. Its funny because while he has a very capable computer on his desk in his room, he would much rather do every task on the iPad.

I honestly wasn't expecting you to see this and respond, so thanks a lot! I'm working on some machine lifetime prediction stuff for work, so it helps to hear about real-world cases.

It's a 2ghz core2duo with 2gb ram. Another impressive feature is the wireless speed. He streams HD video from the basement with no problem, while my newer computer struggles from time to time. This has been a great computer for him.
