Laptop processor.

[Johan Scheepers]

Good day,

Looking to buy a new laptop. This does not happen often. 2 laptops in 10 
yrs.

Say processor speed about 2 gig. There is a lot of variations.

Version i3  or  i5  or  i7.

Now there is  AMD  and  Intel.

Would like to buy the best for my budget.

Kindly some pointers please.

Thanks
Johan S

I forgot to mention (to I mentioned it elsewhere) that my machine is a
ProBook 4510s, which is a bit down the pricerange. For your money, I am
confident you could get something packing even more punch.

Since you are looking for a general purpose machine, and have a pretty
good budget, I would recommend you take a close look at HPs ProBook
series. This is what I am using, and I am very pleased with both the
performance and the ergonomics of the machine itself (very comfortable
keyboard to work with).

USD $1,400s . You could practically purchase anything.

Also, what are you looking to use it for? Do you need anything specific
or just a general-purpose machine?
