But then again, this is getting into the "how much computer is enough" thread territory.
True, it would probably have met my mom's needs better than my old P4 Dell I gave her. You can always accessorize with a nice monitor and wireless keyboard/mouse for home use. I could see it being a little limited for media, though, both in terms of HDD space and audio/video output.
