    It was okay enough to play RPG games like Maplestory (yes, I know) but with mostly low-medium settings.
    WiFi was not particularly great, so a Ethernet cable was the way to go.
    The most standout part was the audio/mic jacks up in the front, however, luckily that design didn't catch on.

    You know this kinda makes me appreciate my elitebook 2540p. It does have the i5 and I think it is the first gen of the i5 so there's that. However it can support a whole 8 gigs of ram and I did get it second hand right for 75 or something and even people want like 195 for it on the used market or something like that with a ssd and the full ram which makes it more sought out...... oddly. And at the time when the computer came out it cost an astounding 1100 dollars... at the time which was like 2009 or something. It runs windows 10 so that's cool and the cpu runs at like 2.50 ghz and "supposedly" can turbo to 3.10 but I was never able to get that to happen even in a demanding load. I think that turbo thing was in certain computers or cpus or something. But it's ok tho I haven't gotten to upgrade the laptop yet with either both ram and ssd so, sad... but I will. I almost upgraded ram but some fool on eBay I bought some off of took forever to ship and he was in California (keep that in mind) and I'm in Arizona. So I waited and waited because it said there was only a label made for like a week. I asked what was up and he was like "oh my god I'm sorry that it hasn't happened yet or legit shipped yet" and when that happened it got to me...from Nebraska.......ok...... ill....still.....allow....it. aaaaaand when it arrived there was NOTHING in the bubble mailer. Now... if you ship i dunno computer parts you'd put it in a box right? Not this guy... so I was absolutely livid and I messages him because there was a "number" in the empty package and oh yeah I took pictures of that mailer still sealed to show him before and after. But he was cool but told me that was the only time that has happened to him, yeah ok... but was willing to ship it again or refund. On my end I kinda was having issues with the hard drive now so I asked for a the refund I did want him to ship it still but....no.. so I was so close yet so far to upgrade the laptop with something but fell through like fell real hard...

    for that kind of old laptop, especially Vista, the most sensible upgrade is Windows 7 which most of the time fixes Vista's performance issues. RAM issue, you firstly have to check the old manual for max supported memory for each slot. it's rare for old laptops to have BIOS update that increases the max capacity though
    and Pro tip, never use Windows 10 on old laptop. You'll be wasting hours just to wait the ISO boots up

    It came with Windows XP, but I installed Vista with 512mb of ram and then I installed Windows 7 Ultimate. It wasn't and still isn't slow and browsing is surprisingly quick for it's age.
    I installed another 512mb from my other non working 3103WLMi and the computer runs smoothly. Definitely a reliable computer. CPU and Ram usage is very low. CPU usage is usually 2% or 1% and doesn't go over.
