its for my mom, she doesn't game, do anything resource intensive. want to spend 300-500 bucks. heres what i would like for it to have: dual core proc., 3 gig RAM, 250 gig hard drive. thanks guys.
Another approach might be to go to; http://www.newegg.com/Store/Computer.aspx?page=1, sign up for their Email deals, and let a laptop come to you.we have a family desktop and then my desktop. my mom wants the laptop because its better for her back. she just surfs the web so she doesn't need a high end one. yea the price s fixed, which is why im having a hard time finding what she wants for the price.
The T4400 Pentium in the BB laptop was launched in Q4 '09, which is pretty much the day before yesterday. http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=40739&processor=T4400&spec-codes=SLGJLforever: I'd advise you to go for that Dell Vostro 1015 compdata linked you to. You will not find much better deal than this for a notebook in your price range.
Eddie's linked notebook carries Pentium processor whereas the dell carries more modern Core 2; which is much better choice anyway.
Our intended purpose. So then.....its for my mom, she doesn't game, do anything resource intensive. want to spend 300-500 bucks. heres what i would like for it to have: dual core proc., 3 gig RAM, 250 gig hard drive. thanks guys.
To my dull and plodding thought processes, the intended purpose doesn't really seem to require or warrant a lengthy or probing excursion into the esoterica of processor architecture.Well if i remember correctly Core 2 introduced a Wide Dynamic Execution Unit and a much better branch prediction unit, which works much better with more L2 cache as it can feed more data for processing to it, and that was the idea behind my comment. However, in this case the performance difference may be limited.
God knows, "the customer is always right".Fair enough, I guess we have given him few options to look at lets see whats his views are on them.
