The AMD 64 bit processor is very good, but the earlier ones aren't any better than P4's.

nah j/k blade, for what you get with it, and the cost,  it is a good deal.  Now after the taxes(...:dodgy: tax), $2100 is  alittle to much for me.  but maybe you have more money then I do, so its prob not that big of a deal for you

A. Proc speed doesnt matter at this point for a laptop
quote:
If your going to get a laptop the proc speed isnt going to matter, it's all in the graphics chipset. For the most part asides from being significantly cheaper, slower is better for a laptop. The proc generates enough heat to burn your skin though disapated through a heat sync and a fan, it is still very hot and not comfortable to have on your lap.

B. HP is shit. Nuff said

C. Intels are slower and more battery intensive when it comes

D. Good idea paying of the car

E. If you really need a laptop, Take a look at http://www.motioncomputing.com/ (I think). Tablets are nice if all you really need is a mobile system. Lots of fun!

F. Spend $400 and install a computer in your cavalier.
