Hi, I am currently looking for a laptop for my brother - it will just be used for internet/msn/surf and perhaps the odd xvid to his TV. As I am not really sure how good AMD dual cores are, I want to know which laptop is the better?
17.1” 1440 x 900
AMD Turion 64 Mobile Dual Core (TL58? 1.9GHz)
2GB of Ram (667MHz)
Hard Drive: 250 GB 5400rpm
ATI RS690M
HDMI
5 USB
E-SATA port
Vista home Premium
£400
OR
15.4" 1280 x 800
Intel Pentium Dual Core T2330 1.6GHz
2GB of ram (667MHz)
Hard Drive: 120GB 5400rpm
Graphics: ATI X1100
4USB
Vista home Premium
£350
Both have Asus 2 year warranty. Obviously the AMD one has a bigger hard drive and larger screen which is swaying me (esp for £50 more), but will the CPU better than this older Intel dual core (Yonah perhaps?)
