eeeh, if you bought a laptop, there's nothing you could do with a processor suggestion.
anyways. On Metro, stick to IE. It has the fastest Javascript due to Microsoft allowing it to use hardware acceleration, but not allowing for example Chrome to do the same.
On the Desktop app, use whichever you prefer. -
I totally agree to @boxmein (View Post)

Are you able to use software from microsoft store? Whenever I try to start one of them, they just show blank screen and never start running. Of course, some of them work, but over half of them does blank screen on startup. -

Nah, Paint.NET.

Graphics processor? Can't really replace hardware on a laptop... otherwise see @jenn4 (View Post)
Also, for viewing, use IrfanView or the built in one. For editing, Paint.NET or GIMP. Or the online version, pixlr. -
windows 8 is more of a touch-centric operating system, but it is a development subsequently for a better UI. I should imagine it as a "vista", in the sense that it probably uses alot of RAM just to run the graphics. Windows 7; vista's successor, obviously improved considerably. Perhaps this could be the case for windows 9, when it is developed.

Not really more touch centric, rather unified for touch, mouse (and I think they mentioned TV).
They say odd-numbered Windows releases are worse than even-numbered ones. -
