Hi,
I have no idea about the current available options. If you know
about the available models which he can look for please reply back.
Thank You.
Ask him to go in for a C2D Machine with 6-8 Gigs of RAM with a P8600 or
better processor and an Intel GMA4500 chipset or better. This is a very
power efficient and cool ( as in temperature ) platform. If he wants a
more mature platform ask him to go in for a C2D with GMA X3100 chipset
with 4 Gigs of RAM. This runs a bit hotter ( not so much though ) and is
power efficient as well. With this chipset he should get a T8300
processor. It packs a punch.
Since he needs something portable and light ( and sturdy ) he should try
lenovo ( Though my personal experience has been bad I'm still
recommending it purely because I feel it was a one off incident ). If
not, Dell would give him the best returns on his investment. If money is
not a worry, he should go in for a Mac Book Pro.
Don't go for mac unless he is sure the specialised maths software he wants to use is
going to run on mac os
