    HI,

    I mainly use a laptop to browse the web and download music (legally!) and some photo management.
    Would this spec be sufficient for my purposes or am I missing something?:

    Thats a brand new Pentium anyway, which can only be a good thing, looks to be a good upgrade over the ageing T4X00 series, triple the amount of cache and supports DDR3 only. However, see what the price increase is to get a Core i3-350M, the core i3's, have a great reputation for bang for buck

    Dont know know a huge amount about laptops but from your expected uses, it sounds like that would be more than adequate to me!

    Hi, i don't mean to hijack this thread on you Blass but i'm looking at buying the same laptop. You can upgrade to the i3 processor for €10 more, however with that package there's only a 250GB hard drive and 3GB RAM. I don't know a huge amount about laptops so could anyone tell me if i'm better off going for a P600 processor and get 500GB hard drive and 4GB RAM or getting the i3 processor but with 250GB hard drive and 3GB RAM?
