Compared to the notebooks in my source it's a relatively decent purchase.

If it's used...I'd say no.

Furthermore, the TK-53 seems to be a processor that just came out at 65nm to compete with the T series from Intel.

This means it's more efficient with battery life (i believe one laptop is quoted at about 5.5hrs), has dual cores and runs at 1.6Ghz. Looking around you won't find much info.

Good deal, go for it.
Good deal. Must buy!
