Hi Everyone.

Need to look for a laptop for my sister.

Dont know where to start with the spec out there! lol

She needs it for word processing, you tube, a few movies, NO gaming.

Budget is a max of £350.
Cheers!

Its basically the codename for Intels most recent processors. I myself have one, a i7-2600K. You can tell they are these new processors as they have the number 2 in them after the hyphen.

They are much quicker and more efficient than the previous range of processors, and although they are new, they are reltively cheap.

I personally would stretch the extra money for a sandbridge processor. Although the intended use of the laptop isnt demanding, it would be better to spend that little extra and make it more 'futureproof'.

Thanks for that!

Would you go for a sndybridge i3 or a older i5? If its the same price?

It depends what model the i5 processor is, as there are a few mobile ones around, and some are better than others. But i personally would go with the new i3.
