Question from steviebobs: Asked on 14/06/2010 I am planning on visiting you soon as I think I have decided on this laptop for use in my lounge (good price) - linked to a Panasonic Full HD TV. Apps likely to be standard office ones + cd/dvd player + web access, no substantial gaming.
I think I want, Largish HD, plenty of RAM, HDMI out and 802.11n. Preferably webcam+mic. Only question is about the Pentium Dual Core. Is its 32bit structure limiting compared to more modern CPU releases like i3 etc? Thanks.
