Hi all,

I not not a big fan of laptops in general, but im buying one for my friend. She is gonna use it for just normal use like web surfing, youtube and maybe writing documents for school. So nothing so special and demeaning.

So im looking at some low cost laptops for her and i found this one Lenovo G50-45 (80E301K6MT) for 400$ and it seems like thats a good deal for that laptop with A8 AMD . So i want to see what u guys think, is it good enough for her?

Any I5's That Cheap Will Be Dual Core, Might As Well Future Proof And Get A Quad Core.
