I purchased for my father Lenovo with E1-2100 i reckon it was G505 or something

anyway its dual core 1.Ghz, but dont fooled, it packs a punch and very power efficient, and cause it have good GPU
Its really balanced for web browsing laptop, i made mistake that my father sometimes uses the lame Adobe Autocad utilities for its work, so those applications are better off with an intel dual core, like i3, but even those apps works on his laptop, and not laggy but not so fast either, but the price was right for that 15inch laptop, it was 310.60 USD, with 4GB ram, and the rest of specs is the usually (500GB,1366*768,wifi,camera...etc)

But all in all, IMO, keep a look for A4-5000 and especially A6-5200, the A6-5200 will make a great performance budget laptop, just ensure you dont get stuck with HD ready resolution, and try to go up a notch to 1440*900 the better.
