Sling Duo

I want to buy a new laptop. How fast does it really need to be?

I use my laptop for the same things that most of you do. Surfing the web, answering emails, downloading musci, and the occasional photo editing (very seldom). How much machine do I REALLY need. I know that the new Duo Core machines are cool and all, but do I really need that much speed. Someone recently told me that a Celeron 1.5 with 512K of ram and 64mb of video is more than enough. Is this true? Also the idea of a Sling Box interest me. Does the Sling Box require a faster machine to use it properly? Thanks in advance.
I know that some of you subscribe to the more, better, greater formula but lets face it, I only need what I need. I don’t want to pay double the price for something I do not need. If I can get by with a Celeron instead of a Pentium or Duo Core then that is what I want. I have tried all three syatems by surfing the web with them and I can’t tell a difference between them.

Most of what you hear is hype – the core DUO machines are really use-full in two real world scenarios – if your a gamer or your into digital production. i.e. graphic design / video editing. Would you believe you can still function quite well With a machine running with a proc speed of around 1GHZ. Most are going to argue that this is false or pretentious – but, the hardware we are led to believe as “superior” is really the market attempting to get you to spend 3K on a MAC or duo setup. That type of hardware configuration is really exceptional in needed environments like super- computing or as mentioned above. To run normal computing like e-mail, word processing, DVD burning etc. you can get fine performance from machines, from today’s standards, are “inferior” – my advice – don’t buy into all the hype.
