Mid-level notebook

[LandyMan]

Hi all

So I know Razen, Intel I-x processors and the likes, but what is the deal with Celeron in a Notebook these days?
I have always had high end devices, but I am looking for something usable for my wife, that won't break the bank.

She uses Office, RDP and web based systems for work, so no hectic development etc.
Currently using an old Lenovo (she likes the Lenovos), but I need to know if I can look at Celeron chipped devices, or will that just be as frustrating as the current machine.

Advice please?

I, personally, would go at least i3 and not Celeron.
Get a demo/refurb i3/i5 from a reliable seller/platform, plonk in 8gb ram and an SSD. It won't break the bank as that will probably cost the same as a new Celeron.
