Hey guys, quick query about a laptop, my gf's uncle is loaded, wants a laptop to replace his aging celeron 1.2ghz lappy, and wants a dual core laptop, 1gb ram, 120GB hdd+

He generally uses it as an office laptop/running his big 500mb presentations via powerpoint at lectures he gives at unis, i've tried to tell him a good single core lappy will work for what he needs, but he's adament, so who am i to argue!

I saw this for £662 inc VAT, but am honestly lost on laptop prices atm

Would this be good value? really not sure where to go for him, ideally doesn't wanna spend over this.
 
Yeah looks good, Dual Core is the way to go, I wouldn't buy a new single core laptop. Do they even sell those anymore :confused:
 
Looks really good value actually.

But if he doesn't play game he can opt for the integrated graphics version which is some 200 quid cheaper on another site. can't post the site I'm afraid, it's against the rule.

Not like 7300Go is capable of playing any game anyway.
