1. Preferred Brand = Lenovo, but will open to suggestions.
2. Budget = None
3. Usage = Assignments, some light entertainment. (Movies, Music, etc.)
4. Preferred laptop/screen size = Any

Need recommendation of a laptop for a female university student, gaming is not necessary. Light laptops are preferred.

Thanks

Thank you guys for the recommendations smile.gif
Btw, bro PF T.J.
I would prefer standard voltage CPU because it has more processing power, and the laptop would be able to survive longer when newer and more powerful processors surface.
although it's for a girl, not all girls settle for looks only for a laptop, some would prefer it to be fast.
as time goes by, more software are installed and it will tend to slow down the whole system as well.
Thanks again for the recommendations! notworthy.gif

Well, the thing is notebooks with standard voltage CPU mostly does not come with SSD or even mSATA SSD.. so they will be slow anyway (notebook speed is largely bottlenecked by the slow HDD spinning rate)
If you want, try to upgrade those recommended with an SSD later on for even faster performance brows.gif

More or less, but try not to expect too much from it especially for Photoshop laugh.gif
You could either go for (i), then slap in a SSD; or just go for (ii)...
The 1st option would be the better pick imho

Pretty much the ones you have mentioned and one more:
14"
Dell
Inspiron 14, i3-3110M + Intel HD4000@RM1299[2.1kg], 2GB, 500GB(5400rpm), Ubuntu Linux 11.10; W7HB@RM1459

It all depends on whether you need the portability + longer battery life or not. If not, then just go for the Inspiron 15 nod.gif
