I'm looking to replace my wife's Toshiba Satellite laptop. It's running on an Intel i3 370M processor with 4GB RAM and a 320GB HD.

However, I'm rather confused by the current array of Intel processors with 'N' prefixes and 'U' and 'M' suffixes. If I understand correctly, the 'U' processors are lower powered to give better/longer battery use, but as she seldom uses it unplugged, this doesn't really matter.

So can someone enlighten me so that I can make a better educated choice/decision please.

Thanks in anticipation.
David.

    what does she use it for? If it's just general stuff, that spec is more than adequate, it probably just needs a good cleanup or reinstall of windows...

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    They have, in a way. Clean up your wife's existing laptop and you probably won't need to replace it at all.

    You haven't asked a question.

    Being rude to people isn't going to get you very far, there are answers in your previous thread.
