Trying to help my sister in law with a laptop purchase for her work. Looking both for any good deals but also general specs for primarily being able to run Powerpoint or equivalent application smoothly in a teaching environment. So is i3/i5 good enough, how much RAM would you suggest. Do I need to be concerned with the GPU selection?

2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? Smaller lightweight end, something easy to commute with.
3. What screen resolution do you want? Not too important, still getting details as to what she will be hooking up to though.
