    For someone who just uses a laptop to browse the web and maybe occasionally use MS Office this is good considering the price. This Intel Celeron is a dual core so what more does a basic user need without having to pay extra for higher specs that they may not even utilize?

    You'd be surprise at how just doing that isn't enough, especially this laptop.

    Have you tried? I actually have first hand experience.
    My parents got a laptop just like this - got a dual core Celeron (Acer). Then they needed a second laptop and got a dual core i3 (Samsung).

    The celeron works just as good if not better than the i3.
    Both have 4 GB of RAM. Both are on WIN8.

    They use it for browsing, youtube, skype, and other basic every day functions without any issues whatsoever.

    Again, I am just posting based on my experience which is positive with regards to celeron and basic usage.
    I would not get one for myself but for my parents, grandparents, kids I would at this price unless they need it for something like AutoCAD or Halo or CreativeStudio...
