A short paragraph on Specs
ARE SPECS RELEVANT?
For a normal computer user? No, not really.
What I mean is, that the most important question for a normal user usually is “Can it run Word?” or they just buy a MacBook Pro and use Pages all day long. There is no actual need for specs since they will not be using the device to its fullest potential.
For somebody that call himself a gamer? Hell yes.
Personally, I’m in a situation where I have to through the games specs and see if my CPU or graphics card can handle the game. You just lost the game.
That is all.

There’s not much to evaluate here, unfortunately.

Also, I would say that the Internet is a much much more important application than Word. 400 million people use Facebook every day.
HD video, flash ads, animations, real-time web apps, etc require a lot more resources than word processing does.
“Can it run Word?” has been replaced by “Can it run my favorite web sites?”
