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?)
 
Thanks for the replies guys. Thats all I needed to know really. I dont want to sacrifice performance over a bigger HDD and a bigger screen - although the 17" would have been better as the laptop will be replacing an older 14" laptop which is just a desktop replacement and barely ever moved.

Thanks again :)
