Definitely! The battery still gets about three hours of charge. It isn't the original, but IMO that's excellent for a laptop from 2006, as is the performance. It runs Spiral Knights (A game some friends and I play together) just as well as my 2.4GHz/4GB Thinkpad does, and honestly as of late my gaming doesn't get much more demanding than that.

I may very well do a "week/month/year on an old computer" challenge type thing with it. Any tips on keeping it in good shape? Advice on how to use it without eventually breaking the palmrest?
