But, for the price, very plEEEzed with it.

The guy I bought it from seemed to like it at first, but the longer we talked, the more he hated the thing and found it had no purpose in what he had planned on using it for, some type of software testing or something.
He was probably frustrated with the Xandros Linux that comes preinstalled. There are ways of getting Ubuntu or some other free OS or even Windows (maybe even a certain happy-faced OS ) on it if necessary, but I guess he wasn't up to it. The good thing is that his misery ended up being a good thing for you. And if you ever get sick of it, I know someone that would be willing to take it off your hands (/me raises hand up ever-so-high).
