hi. so basicly, i know nothing at all about laptops. ive got my desktop, that does everything i want, but sometimes i want somthing to just chill out on the sofa with if ya know wat i mean.
so im trying to decide what cpu i want to get. its gunna b used for internet browsing (about 5 IEs open with 10 tabs on each knowing me) and msn...... thats about it. the absilute maximum its going to be asked to do, is play a HD movie on youtube (although it wouldnt b the end of the world if it couldnt, but it would b nice)
to start with i was looking @ the core 2 duos, but then got thinking. are the programs im using (win xp / vista / IE / msn) even multi-threaded????? so then thought about an atom, but i have no idea what there even about.......
so basicly i want a lappy for "average user tasks" i supose. BUT i want it to feel fast while going about them. thats very important as im an inpateint person lol
any ideas or sugestions would be aprechiated. oh and for the record, its probably going to be a 2nd hand one
