Laptop for mom <$500 web.. minor stuff use...

[Nick_Escalantes]

I'm gettin a laptop for my mom and she will use it for web browsing, office docs. Nothing major, but she plays games that require minimal graphic power... ie. monopoly.

I've narrowed my search down to these selections so far...

hey man go with this one Acer Aspire AS5732Z-4855 Laptop Computer
Faster BUS
Bigger HD
Wireless N Technology
4 GB Ram not 3 GB as the one at bj's.
Intel rather than amd..

I would have no problem to pay 100$ more for the upgrades.. but thats me.

Intel one is better

Agreed; The intel one has better specs, plus I tend to lean towards Intel processors. From what I've seen they typically perform better and cooler than similar AMD CPUs
