RE: [Simply Computers] Brand new Netbook or Recertified laptop (Please help me to decide)

 

Before spending money on either consider that the computer world moves
pretty fast. Netbook one is inadequate to run W7. You'll be miserable.
Netbook 2 while better somewhat is running on an operating system that is
arguably rapidly becoming outdated and will only be supported for another
couple of years. That might be enough for you to get your money's worth, but
if you're looking to the future, you'll need more ram to run Window 7 or 8.

If it's me I would keep looking. Get something that is relatively current by
today's standards. Buy yesterday's technology and you're that much further
behind the curve.

Obviously my bias is staying current...

Subject: [Simply Computers] Brand new Netbook or Recertified laptop (Please
help me to decide)

Hello All,

I am planning to buy a small/cheap computer for my daily light use.
My only requirement is that it will be able to run 32 bit software program.
As I found out, some Netbooks are installed with 32 bit Windows 7 Starter.
I have found one brand new Netbook and one Recertified laptop in almost the
same price range.
**I will replace the hard drive of the Recertified laptop, therefore it is
not a concern.**

Can anyone tell me which one of these machine will perform better based on
their CPU, Ram and graphic chip?

Here are their spec:
Brand new Netbook
Processor 1.66GHz Intel Atom N455
Cache 512KB L2
Memory 1GB
Memory Type DDR3
Operating System Microsoft: Windows 7 Starter Edition
Graphics Intel Integrated GMA Graphics 64mb
Display Type Acer CineCrystal LED-backlit

Recertified laptop
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7100 1.8 GHz 4MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB
:: Mainboard: Intel 965M
:: Memory: 1 GB, DDR2 PC5300 667Mhz SDRAM
:: Graphics adapter: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M - 128 MB
:: Display: 15.4 Zoll 16:10, 1680x1050 pixel, WSXGA+ TFT Display
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
