8 GB RAM will require a 64-bit OS, whereas 4 GB on my work Lenovo laptop with 32-bit Windows 7 gives me 2.5 GB usable memory.
500 GB is plenty of disk on a laptop (but you can never have too much space, so 750 is even better).
If you are just surfing the web then either processor is more than adequate.
Also with Lenovos you need to check out the screen spec - we have a number of apparently similar models that have different quality displays.
In terms of quality, Lenovo seem to be pretty good.0 -
Personally I'd go for the i5 processor. The RAM and HDD can be replaced at a later date, should the need arise.How do I add a signature?0
