I got it from wife's work, as they were to throw it away; "...not fast enough...". I salvaged it, and it seems to work fine with Windows. It wasn't my intention to keep Windows on it though. Anyway, I'd say it's somewhere between 3-5 years old. It's a cheapo plasticky Dell with an Intel P3/1600 and 256-512MB RAM, no built-in wifi, which places it in approx 2005, give or take a few years up or down. -- /Sorin
