Some of those old celeron machines have incredible specs. The last laptop my partner paid full price for was a hp4315ap (we’re in New Zealand). It had a 2.2GHz Celeron which flew like the clappers, ran Linux like a dream and was new in 2000AD. If the cooling assembly hadn’t gone haywire, I’d still be using it today instead of this 1.6GHz AMD Sempron donkey I had to get to replace it.

Your friend got an incredible deal, well done
