Notebooks - 1.6GHz Presario Intel® Dual-Core DVD±RW Wireless Notebook - Windows® Vista Home Premium (C506) (Compaq) - eCOST.com - electronics, computers, laptops, mp3 players What's everyone think? I'd be great for me since it'd save me some money, but I've heard "things" about Compaq laptops...

I always thought AMD's where inferior to Intel's when it came to laptops. Thanks guys. I probably will go with the Intel laptop at this point.

Hey guys, General question. I have two options for laptops, one with a AMD64 MK-38 processor, or an Intel Dual Core CPU, which one should I go with? To get a better picture; AMD 64 MK-38 notebook Intel Dual Core notebook This AMD laptop has Vista Basic, while the Intel laptop has Vista...

Hey guys thanks for the replies, been busy sorry I didn't update. Well, I have approx. $900 CDN to work with (842.982 USD). I'm actually more confused now than I was before. I always thought Toshiba's were good, but a few weeks ago I heard they were crap. Now someone is telling me they're nice...

Hey guys, I'm going to University in a few months and I'll need a laptop. I don't plan to do any sort of gaming on it or anything too straneous on the hardware. I plan to use it mainly for word processing (any sort of academic application in general), maybe a media player, internets, etc. I...
