hi, i asked a few days ago about processoer and ram in a computer i was thinking of purchasing. I need someone's advice now on the computer. It is an Azus Intel core I5 3337u 1.8ghz (turbo 2.7ghz), 8gb 1333mhz. As stated earlier I'm 66 and don't need a lot of bells and whistles. Will this computer service my needs for Microsoft Office and Publisher 2010 for administration work. Secondly having used windows XP on my old laptop and for the last few years windows vista on my desktop; the new computer comes with widows 7 or upgrade to widows 8, which do you feel i would be most comfortable learning. Any of your advice would be greatly appreciated, I'm amazed at this forum, the general knowledge and polite way you all go out of your way with to help people such as myself. I look forward to getting your advice.
Kindest rgards

Solution
Yes should be fine for your needs, prob be more comfortable w/ Win7, not to mention more mature OS and drivers, as I suppose you'll want/need wireless for networking
