I'm in the process of purchasing a laptop for my wife. She will use it for checking email, internet access, and perhaps school if she decides to go back to get her MBA in the near future.
My choice of processors are all AMD processors:
Athlon TK-53@1.7ghz
Turion TL-56@1.8ghz
Turion TL-60@2.0ghz
Turion TL-64@2.2ghz
First question: Which processor would you suggest I get? The TK-53 would probably suffice, but I want something that is still useable 4 or 5 years from now.
Other features:
Operating System: Windows Vista Premium
Hard Drive: 160 GB
Memory: 2GB Dual Channel DDR2
Display: 17" High Resolution Wide Screen
Video Card: ATI RADEON Xpress1270 HyperMemory
Drive: CD / DVD writer (DVD+/-RW Drive)
Sound: ExpressCard Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
Second question: Is this computer sufficient for some someone who wants to check email, surf the web, and do term papers for class?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
