CPU Speed vs Number of Cores?
Computer Illiterate... My computer usage includes minimal gaming, graphics, and multi-tasking. 99% of the time surfing downloading PDF tech articles, using Microsoft Word, etc. I am confused ...

I have heard enough about Windows 8.1 to be intimidated to stick with Windows 7.
99% of the time I operate one solitary application at a time.
I have slow internet speed that for example cannot support SKYPE.
Yet I would like a 17" screen for my poor eyesight. I use 4.0 + diopter reading glasses and max possible screen brightness and modest resolution settings
And a pure Social Insecurity pension insures I could never afford anything other than utter bargain-basement quality and speed. Wal-Mart and Woot all seem to specialize in 4-core low CPU speed specials. 300 dollars seems to be about my absolute limit...
