I won't mention any more details on the laptop other than I'm considering getting one and it's better two.

AMD Turion 64 X2 2048MB 160GB 15.4 is the first one and the second on is Core 2 Duo T7200 1024MB 120GB 15"

How much of a performance hit will I take on the AMD? There is about £100 difference between the two. The 2nd one I had as a work laptop at one stage and loved it, but at my new company we don't get given laptops :mad: It's very frustrating and IT/server professional without a laptop!!

At the moment I'm tempted to take the AMD. I'm not going to be using it for gaming etc etc. It's more for proper work tasks and VMWare/VPC stuff. I've got a main PC that the bulk of it has come from OCUK Q6600 with 4GB RAM etc for music, films, and virtual server stuff

I'd still get the 2GHz Core2Duo laptop. If it's the extra 1GB RAM that's swaying your decision towards the AMD, an extra 1GB is always a valuable upgrade on the Intel laptop.

What model processor is the AMD?
