Obviously work, programming/maybe some photoshop/ word and general office / HTML CSS / some movies and music
Have £600 absolute maximum! roughly 940$.
Been looking at this so far:
Compal
15.6" Matte HD LED Widescreen (1366x768)
Intel Core i5 Dual Core Mobile Processor i5-2450M (2.50GHz) 3MB
4GB SAMSUNG 1333MHz SODIMM DDR3 MEMORY (2 x 2GB)
nVIDIA® GeForce® GT 540M - 2GB DDR3 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
250GB SERIAL ATA II 2.5" HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (5,400rpm)
8x SATA DVD±R/RW/Dual Layer (+ 24x CD-RW)
What do you guys recommend, is it worth going i7? or perhaps choosing one with a different graphics card?
