THIN-AND-LIGHT LAPTOPS (4 TO 6 POUNDS)

摘要

Processor Look for a model powered by Intel's Core 2 Duo processor, which provides long battery life, strong performance, and cool running temperatures. Save a little money by opting for lower clock speeds, such as 1.6GHz, which still offer enough power to handle Microsoft's Windows Vista operating system. If you're interested in purchasing an AMD-based laptop, look for the Vista-friendly Turion 64 processor. Memory Adequate RAM is crucial for fast performance. The minimum requirement for running Windows Vista is 512MB, though we recommend opting for 1CB of DDR2 SDRAM or more. Each additional 512MB of DDR2 memory wilt cost about $65.
