Hiya - need to get rid of my desktop to make way for baby number two
I am torn between two laptops - got to be from amazon due to gift certificates been given.
Acer Aspire 5742Z 15.6 inch Notebook ( Intel Pentium P6100, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, DVD, Webcam, Wireless, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)
or
Acer Aspire 5742 15.6 inch Notebook ( Intel Core i3-370M processor 2.4GHz, 3GB RAM, 320GB HDD, DVD, Webcam, Wireless, Windows 7 Home Premium)
They are both £379 - should I be sacrificing hard drive and an extra gig of ram for a slightly faster and newer processor? I do plan at some point to buy some external storage to store photos and stuff. Or is there another laptop that is better than these two on Amazon - due to it being just past crimbo and having to buy an amazing amount of new baby stuff (I thought nesting was all about cleaning as opposed to this "new" style nesting that is all about decorating the whole house) my absolute and total limit would be probably £400.
Meant to add - wont be playing any games, will be for watching movies and listening to music - will use it for the odd bit of photo editing (nothing major) and occasionally might convert an AVI file to DVD.
Advice?
