    Hi guys

    I am planning might be getting a TT with the following CPU:

    Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SU9300 1.20 Ghz 800FSB 3MB L2 cache

    Do you guys think this CPU with 3GB of DDR3 800MHZ RAM is good enough for web surfing, download/upload pics from camera, checking email (No gaming)

    Please kindly advise.

    A T6400 isn't available for that model.
    Pretty much any modern processor - even an Atom - is good enough for those tasks.

    It's faster than the Atom and the Atom CPU can do those tasks fine too.

    thanks for all your positive responses and I hope I can pick up a decent used TT laptop this week locally with warranty somehow.
