I'm planning on buying a Dell Inspiron 15. This will be used for surfing the web etc and also playing Football Manager. The laptop will have a 500GB hard drive and 4gb or RAM. For £382 I can get a Intel® Celeron® Processor 900 (2.20 GHz, 1MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)but for £40 more I can get Intel® Celeron Dual Core T3000 (1.80 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 1 MB L2 Cache. Which would be a better option?

Dell makes their money on selling options. But with a laptop, get what you want now; don't expect to be able to upgrade it later. The dual core will run slightly faster; good for multitasking.

Since laptops aren't upgradeable; I'd get at least a Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz.... for longeivity
