Title: Laptop for my father
Post by: Grey Fox on March 15, 2012, 06:54:38 PM
I plan on buying a laptop for my dad for his birthday (next month).

As a mid level power gamer I always trouble downsizing to the needs of the non-gamers, which makes me incapable of answering this question :

Is an I3 mobile good enough or should I go I5?

What does your dad want to do with his laptop?

I don't know how he uses his computer but it's old like matusalem so it can't be that much intensive.

Anyway, I went with a i3.

Though maybe you should have got him a iPad. -_-

I couldn't have done that. I would never be able to part with it once it's in my hands.

:lol:

It sure is nice.  I like using my wife's from time to time.  Still it's a bit of a pain to type on.
