This is a good deal for a laptop for a child, and a netbook is too slow to watch movies on. This is a pretty decent deal. However, if your kid tries to play too many games, the computer might start to lag very easily compared to a traditional 4GB/core 2 duo laptop.

The processor is very weak. (Intel Celeron) You may want to find one with "Intel Core" or "Intel i " series. If it was cheap enough, it may be worth it tho. How much was it?
