From a bit of digging, i5 and i7 are quad core CPUs so would stick to these rather than i3 which is single core.

512 Gig SSD will be good, 8GB RAM .....something like this would do the job....

I have been using Motorola phones manufactured by Lenovo for a while and they do the job.

As others have mentioned, most Graphic Designers/Marketing People use Apple so if she is doing Marketing or Graphic Design then Apple is the way otherwise....match what she needs.

 

If you do go for a new Lenovo, it's worth buying forking out £60 for an extended warrantee.

I noticed that at the last moment. That's why I wrote the lousy joke.

Look.....it is a DELL....not a DEL.......flippin heck.....didn't you lash out on the spell check???

I should know, visited the Limerick factory a number of times and saw it stripped out and closed.....not a good one as it decimated the local job situation.
