What is the best laptop for someone that only uses it for Word and Internet use?

My dad wants to buy a new laptop and is looking at the Sony Vaio VGN-FZ430E/B Laptop or the Presario A931NR Laptop. I am not sure what to tell him.......I also know that the biggest different is that one operates with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and the other is an Intel Pentium Dual-Core MObile Processor. Any thoughts?

    The Core2 duo outperforms the pentium in all respects, speed, heat, battery life etc.

    If all he is doing is word and internet, the cheapest machine he can find will be more than enough.

    If it is coming with vista, be sure it has at least 2 GB of ram.
