    Default did i make the right choice?

    so my dad finally decided to go to the store to buy a laptop for my mother
    after a while of looking around i doubted between these two:

    laptop A:
    intel T5800
    4gbs ram
    9600gt 512mb
    320gb hdd
    vista home premium 32bit

    laptop B:
    intel T9300
    3gbs ram
    8600gt 512mb
    2x 250gb
    vista home premium 32bit

    so ive decided to go for laptop b, because the differnce between the cpus was bigger then those of the gpu, it has a bigger total hdd space, and the differnce between 4gb and 3gb ram on 32bit systems are basically non existant

    did i make the right choice? i just want to be sure, and its for my mom, so its more for the internet then gaming (gaming is only for me during the vacation when im not at home)

    I would go for something more portable.

    Stats are less important than seize, screen and build imo.

    Hit the nail on the hammer's head right there.

    With a laptop, it's all about the weight and size over the power and stats. Especially if it's mostly for internet and not for gaming.

    its a 17" screen

    its not to go carry it around everywhere my mother goes as it was meant for my mom to learn to use the internet and be capable to skype my aunts etc

    if that is all you need the computer for then you might as well buy the cheapest laptop possible since any laptop can browse the internet and use skype.

    get those cheap $400-$500 USD ones.
