yeah it'll do well, won't be able to play main stream games or anything; but sound for everything else - unless you want a 1920x1080 screen

I disagree with the CPU. It's 'm' series i5, but dual core? Seems odd.

Anyway, a screen upgrade is recommended (1080p is nice). Why do you need the thermal paste?
