Bit of a computer novice gents so would welcome some guidance on which Laptop to get the wife.
It will mainly be used for browsing, facebook, but also a bit of downloading music, some MS Office use, (mainly Word).
Doesnt need huge storage capacity, wont be running lots of multiple applications neither, or any clever software, and little or no gaming.
So, what will I get for £300 or under (not much I guess!!)?
Do I need Dual Core?
IS 1 Mb RAM respectable? Or really out dated these days?
Is 1.8Mhz fast enough?
Will 80gb storage be enough to store a few dozen Albums, jpegs and MS Office etc?
I would say speed is more important than storage capacity.
What about a Notebook? What are the main differences between that and a Laptop,
It would seem that once you spend £350-400 you get a lot more spec but is it necessary baering in mind it wont get heavy use and like most PCs will be well out of date in 12months anyway?
Lots of questions I know but appreciate any feedack.
Thanks:icon_thumright:
