I've been using a Dell Vostro 1720 for the last 6 or so years.
It has
Intel Core 2 Duo P7570 @2.27 GHZ
2GB ram (not sure if DDR2 or DDR3)
I'm looking to upgrade on a budget. Most of the Laptops I'm looking at are using Intel Pentium, or Celeron CPU's. I've heard the Core 2 Duo's are supposed to be better.
Would a newer Celeron CPU out perform my 6/7 year old Core 2 Duo?
Also I was hoping for 8GB of ram, but most of the budget laptops come with 4GB DDR3.
Would these budget laptops be a decent upgrade over my old laptop?
I don't want to spend a few hundred quid
on a new laptop, just to realise it doesn't make any difference in performance
