Hi Guys,
I need to buy a new notebook for my dad. He would be using notebook for running charting applications, surfing, office and related tasks. Some of the charting programs do require decent processing power. Thats why I want a good processor as well.
Priority -
1. Lightweight (around 2 kg or lower)
2. Power (No C2D or lower, either i3 or i5)
3. Size 13" or 14" (will be attaching it to an external monitor)
4. Budget $1000 (approx) (little flex)
What should I do ? Though I would be running MS Windows but if I get a laptop without an OS, thats okay with me as I have a spare copy. Infact he doesnt care even if it does not have a dvd drive or so.
[I am getting a VIAO for $1150 (i3, 3GB, 5400 RPM Hdd). Was wondering hope on the speed front it is okay. i3, 3gb)
Will appreciate your inputs.
Thanks a lot,
Cheers,
Jack
