Hi ppl, helping friend to look for a notebook recommendation,

1 Budget - around 1.5k to 1.8k
2. Usage - daily usage not for gaming
3. Preferred laptop/screen size - 14" or above

The HP is currently the only one running on Ivy Bridge processor. Not that you'll notice much differences if you're only using it for normal stuffs
I would recommend the Vostro 3450 over the others because of the faster HDD speed, program load times would be shorter, leading to a faster computing experience

However, do take note that the Vostro 3450 runs on W7 Home Basic instead of Home Premium ya.
