Miscellaneous laptop discussions : Comparison of Intel Duo processors and AMD 64 bit turion

RE

Hi !

For entertaiment, the AMD Turion 64 is better thant the Intel Pentium M.

But if you do a lot of Multi-tasking, you could have better performances with the Core Duo. Graphics controller are better with the Core Duo than the AMD Turion based laptops.

The choice is in this sentence : If you're looking to keep your laptop for a long time, take an AMD Turion 64 based laptop. If you do multi-tasking and if you need a long battery life, take the Core Duo.

Don't take a Pentium M laptop. This processor is already obselet vis-a-vis the Core Duo.

Avoid Alienware laptop. They have a very poor after-sale service. And take the minimum RAM you can buy with the laptop. After bought it, buy an OCZ 1*1GB bar. You 'll have more agressive timmings and better performances.
