My dad is looking at buying a laptop to replace his p3 800mhz desktop because it's out of date with the latest programs and such.

-He doesn't want to spend more than $2000canadian taxed and shipped.

-He wants to be able to run windows vista (64 bit?)

-He wants to be able to run recent programs (need 2gb ram or is 1gb ok?, wants a dual core processor)

-We don't know if the x1400 will last for years to come.

-Is the x1600 worth an extra $110canadian over the x1400?

-Is this a good option? http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...nufacture=Acer

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
