I guess Acer Dual Core is good enough for usage mentioned above. [People in "Dad" catagory barely use it for any heavy application so I dont think C2D is a necessity. Dual Core will do just fine.
WTH is the difference in core2duo and Dual Core anyway? C2D sounds to me like some really cheap tatic to attract little children who like "funky" names.

Dual core is the correct english term used for a processor with two cores. triple core for three cores. quad core for four cores, penta, hexa, septa, octa, etc for 5,6,7,8 cores. Why does a reputed company full of intellectuals have to keep such a stupid name like core2duo?

and yes, people in the dad catogary really do need only 1.7Ghz P4 processor, 256 mb ram, Windows XP, 60 GB HDD, camera, speaker, any screen, gma900, and customer support. You can find one of these things for just RS 15000 assembled.
