It would have been a decent machine during the Bush administration.

The specs are old enough to be one of those eMachines. Didn't they have the "Gamer" ones too with the shit specs and a mid GPU too?

eMachines were Gateway’s budget models. They didn’t have any models with video cards. These are actually pretty solid specs for a late 00s laptop, certainly out of eMachine range! At that time, eMachines would have a Pentium or more likely a Celeron and 2GB RAM.
