Can someone that's more computer hardware literate than me have a quick look at this:

http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/c...2010/L412-L512

Laptop - Lenovo Thinkpad L512
2GB/160GB/DVDRW/15"/XP/1YR
Lenovo L512 Core i5-520M 2.4GHz 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD
15.6" HD AntiGlare, Intel HD Graphics, Camera, BT
BGN, Win XP Pro (Windows7 Recovery Media)

Does this laptop look decent-ish? For work purposes (so no games..)

What sort of work? E-mail, web browsing, spreadsheets? Should be fine. Grapic design? Not even close.

No graphics design..

Yeah mainly emails, MS Office.. and lots of wireless connections...

Are the specs fairly low for nowaday standards?

Nope. Good specs for what you want to do with it.

That's good~ just wanna double check..

Make sure it's loaded with Win 7, though. No point going for XP when the OS will be buried in 3-4 years.

What does the "Win XP Pro (Windows7 Recovery Media)" mean?

**Hraesvelg** · 09-07-2010, 03:11 PM

I looked around and didn't see that anywhere. Looks like they're only coming with Windows 7, as they should.

Windows XP will never die.

Vista certainly wouldn't kill it, but Windows 7 certainly will. It's all the good things of XP wrapped up with the good things of Vista.
