My dad wants to buy a laptop. He will pretty much use it for internet, email & word processing. I haven't got a clue about laptops, which of the following specs is the best? Acer Aspire 3003LC: AMD Sempron 3000+ processor 256MB DDR SDRAM 40GB Hard Drive DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive 15"TFT XGA Screen SiSM760GX Graphics OR....... Dell Inspiron 1300 Intel® Celeron® M Processor 380 (1.60 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 400 MHz FSB) 512MB 533MHz DDR2 SDRAM (2x256) 80GB (5.400rpm) Hard Drive 8X DVD+/-RW 15.4inch WXGA (1280x800) LCD Panel The Dell costs £70 more, is it worth the extra money?
Well look at it this way.... 256MB more RAM 40GB more HDD space 8X DVD drive Slightly bigger screen All for an extra £70. TBH I don't think there's really much of a choice
