Is it worth it?
I used it at best buy.

Save your money for a decent car. You'll be glad for it.

I'm 12...
10 bucks allowance a week, various odd jobs add up to about 200 a month.
I have about 100 on me right now.

Thats awsome but very expensive for what it is. Get a psp? or a Gp2x?

It runs XP....
I would have no need for a gba,Nes portable, snes portable, n64 portable(sorta), and just about everything else.
Plus all the PC games!

Save for a car. Or buy a full laptop.

Save your money. You've got some big expenses in your future and those ultralight PCs aren't worth jack for modern gaming. (I assume they're worse than laptops.)

If you want a portable PC, aim for laptops. They're much more practical and you'll probably get far more use out of them.

In my opinion these things aren't quite there yet, basically the modern equivalent to this thing:

And being so expensive it would be more of a liability than an asset, you'll probably never want to leave the house with it for fear of damaging it.

I know a guy, free extended 2 year warranty with a lifetime warranty on the software.

Look here or get this i would suggest a laptop because that thing probably sucks for gaming even Halo. I mean think about how hard it would be to game with that keyboard and their is no mouse or touchpad.

Get a car. Seriously I would never want to see a 12 year old with one of those things. 12 year olds break things.

I'm 12 and i don't break things I'm actually very careful with my electronics like when the gameboy color came out i got it and i never even lost a game and when the gameboy advance came out i got it and still have it in perfect condition to this day.
