+1 for depends on what you do on the net.
I'm 21 and my main machine is a G4 1.25GHz AlBook. 1GB RAM and 250GB HD running 10.5.8 and I couldn't ask for more in a daily computer. Covers my internet banking, facebook, occasional youtube video. I run Office 2004 on it (with the .docx package thing), organise and edit my photo library, design flyers and logos in Photoshop, make up the occasional video in iMovie HD, sync and keep my iPhone 4 up to date. It's seen me through my degree the last 3 years and is currently seeing me through my next degree. Mail does everything I need in an email client. Safari 5.0.6 is still a current browser and it's the fastest I've run on it yet. Basically, I don't ever find this computer lacking in all my day to day computer chores. And honestly, yeh it's no i5 but it's seriously perfectly speedy for all the tasks I've mentioned. Yeh granted I couldn't do my audio production work on it (I have a Mac Pro for that, but that's not even connected to the internet and it lives over in my studio) but that's not the point. Just wanted to say that as a daily driver, I love this thing.
