So I have a client that wants a new laptop, she mostly just uses programs so I don't need a dedicated GPU so Im focusing on the CPU. The problem is that I don't know laptop CPUs that well. Her price range tops at $1000 but I don't want to absolutely max her budget.

 

Im looking at a Lenovo IdeaPad G50 with a i7-4510U (2.00GHz) for $699.99 (its on sale right now but it may not be by the time I order it.

 

My question is, Does anyone own or knows anyone that owns this laptop and how well does it perform for web surfing and programs. I do not know how much power the programs need, Im seeing her in a week, but I want to give here plenty of power.

 

If you do not like my choice please give me another laptop with link. Like I said her budget is $1000 but I don't want to max her out so Im looking around $800.

 

To say again, I do not know laptops at all so I need a little help on this one.

 

Quick note: This really should not matter but I just wanted to add that she is not that tech savvy.
