[AccessD] OT: Notebook Processor

By all means go with a Celeron or AMD CPU for normal to light work loads.
Saves a lot of cash!

You migth want to consider the weigh as the overall consideration if she has
to carry it much, otherwise connectivity is the issue I look at. I have a
USB hub on mine and don't use anything but the processor when in my office.
On the road its nice to not have a soar shoulder from long hauls in the
airport! More and more I'm using my Pocket PC for everything but take along
work anyway. About the only I can't do on it is programming and typing Word
documents (time for one of those keyboard thingies I guess). For real estate
maybe you might want to look at one of those tablet jobs?

If she doesn't want to spend much you can get great deals on reconditioned
laptops. I've gotten those for people that don't want to spend much and only
do light duty with them like email and word, etc. you can also get no-name
laptops now. (Most of the big guys don't make their own laptops anyway.)

  I have to spec a notebook for a friend.  Any big difference between a
Celeron and a P4?  This is for pretty casual use - Word, Excel, web
browsing - not a power user, just getting her real estate license.
