Hah, true. I just suggest you make sure he gets a good graphics card in his laptop
My main reason of being so active in this thread, is seeing people go "I got a Core i7! I can do annnnything!" and not realize that they also got the Intel HD graphics too! xD
Yea you can consider me an Intel fanboy too, although we did get the first AMD this family has owned not long ago, mainly cause it was cheap (280$ for the PC, Keyboard, Mouse and Speakers) and was fairly decent. Would of gone Intel if their only offering at that price wasn't the Atom in this area
(I am not an Atom fanboy thou, they suck :/)
