My daughter is thinking about buying a low end notebook for WEB access, email, and low end office (MS word, Excel), iTunes library, DVD movies and internet TV channels viewing.
To me, the last two uses seem to be the most demanding.
My question is if the current low end processors and integrated graphic controllers can handle the movies and TV requirement properly.
Any advantage going Intel or AMD? It seems to me that most are Intel.
She is thinking about a budget of $500, but she is in Taiwan and I have no clue if they are cheaper there or not. If really needed, she may be able to stretch the budget to 600-700.
Any brands / models ? I guess since she is in Taiwan, she may have access to more brands or to some not too widely known here like ASUS.
