Fastest notebook PC computer?

There is nothing like that - ITS A MYTH.\nThe only thing that you should look for is \nA CPU above 2.0\nMemory above 1 GB\nHard Drive with 7200 RPM\nDVD-MULTI DL Drive with 16X Writing speeds.

It is very hard to say which notebook is best. \n\nHowever, given that you would be using it primarily for office work and downloading lots of music for your iPOD, it is imperitive to say the least that you would require a HARD DRIVE with lots of space. \n\nThe ideal configuration for you would be - \n\n1) Intel Centrino Processor, which is designed for mobile computing needs. Since you would also be using it for office work, one would presume that you would be carrying it often. So you would want to have a processor designed for laptops and not desktops. New technology like Centrino Duo processor will be an added boon, but is really not required for your pruposes.\n\n2) The minimum RAM you would want to go for is atleast 512 MB. This is because for office work you would be working on system hungry applications like Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook etc. Moreover, a 512 MB RAM would help you to smoothly uprade to Microsoft Windows Vista edition for which the minimum RAM requirement is 512 MB RAM.\n\n3) You would need a hard drive with atleast 100 GB of space as you would be downloading lots of music for your iPOD. Try to go in for a SATA hard drive with 7200 RPM. This will transfer music to your iPOD faster than conventional hard drives.\n\n4) You would want to have CD/RW drive in your laptop. A DVD/ROM CD/RW combo would be handy if you want to use it for occassional DVD viewing.\n\n5) A dedicated graphics card in your case is not required.\n\n6) For your kind of purpose you really don't need the screen size bigger than 14". This would not only lower your budget but also help you in carrying it. (Trust me bigger the screen size, the bulkier and heavier the laptop)\n\n7) Lastly buy a laptop from a vendor, who provides good service like onsite next business day warrenty. You don't want to keep running to the service centre in time of a crisis (laptops are complex machines and prone to defects).\n\nHowever, the choice of a laptop (like a car) is very personal and individualistic.

with today's technology there are no advantages or disadvantages - they both have pro's and/or con's\nLaptop/notebook\nall in one unit - no cables or connectors\nmobile and usually much lighter that moving a desktop\nBetter power usage and efficiency\nLimited expansion or addition capabilities\nLimited selection of high end processors or memory\nLimited ability to add server-like capabilities\n\nDesktop\nMultiple screens and/or simultaneous projectors (Windows XP up to 4 monitors natively)\nBigger screen selections (you can connect a 60" Plasma)\nHigh capacity hard drive storage (no limit - Terabyte capabilities with SATA RAID and/or Drive Arrays)\nHigh capacity, high memory graphics cards\nHuge array of accessories and add-on capabilities\nUsually - preferred by hard-core developers or gamers\nLimited if any mobility\nHigh power consumption and heat dissipation\nHigher levels of noise and air circulation\nMessy cables and critical need of cable management

Gateway!!!  When we were in search, we contacted the "Geek Squad" and by far, they recommended Gateway.  Also, alot more of our friends have "Gateway" than any other notebook  because of the compatibility.

depends on your needs.  If you are looking for a light weight excellent battery life laptop I would go with the Intel® Pentium® M 780 2.26GHz 2MB L2 Cache 533MHz FSB .\n\nIf you are looking for a BIG HEAVY incredible performance rotten battery life laptop go with High GHz Pentium 4 HT processors or AMD® Athlon™ 64 with HyperTransport.

Speed is overrated, as you can't type faster than a Pentium 90 MHz CPU, unless you want to play game.  Same thing about memory unless you games are important.  256MB is plenty for most typical needs.  Your connection speed is more important. Lots of people like the Macs, but the market is far larger for Windows based PCs.  All the new ones have wifi and most have DVD-CDRW.  IBM and Toshiba are the best PC based laptops.  Now size is major.  Laptops weight between 4 to 10 pounds.  All the major manufacturers have products in that price range.  I like the latest from IBM the model T60.  However, they are expensive.

The processor on its own does not make the Laptop the best.  It is the combination of processor, RAM, Disc space for additional RAM and what you intend to do with it!\n\nThe speed of the processor is only good for internal calculations.  The speed is slowed down for display purposes.  See FSB speed.\nHeavy graphics use will also require a good graphics card.

I bought this one:\n\nHP Pavilion Notebook PC (DV5030US)\nHP   DV5030US  \n• AMD Turion® 64 ML-37 \n• 100GB hard drive \n• 15.4" WXGA widescreen  • Double-layer DVD+R/RW \n• 1024MB of DDR memory \n• LightScribe technology  \n\nand is great.

the link below is to all drivers for ur notebook.  u should be be able to find what u r looking for from there.

The Inspiron 700m, with Genuine Windows®  XP Media Center Edition 2005, is Dell's thinnest and lightest InspironTM  notebook, so it is perfect for students and people who travel frequently with their PCs. At 4.1 lbs and 1.5" thick, you can slip this notebook into a briefcase or satchel with your other papers and hardly notice the difference. And you'll be thankful for that when you're running to catch your bus.\n\nYou could also try the Dell 600m Inspiron.

yes, for some reason desktop PCs are faster than notebooks. first of all, it's not the processor that makes the difference. A Pentium M760 (2.00GHz) has about the same performance as a Pentium 4 640 (3.20GHz). This is mainly due to the much better Dothan Core.\nThe main difference comes from the speed of the FSB. The most notebooks have a FSB of max. 533MHz, while desktops have a FSB of 800MHz and above. The 2nd reason are the faster hard disks. While most notebooks have hard disks of 4200 and 5400 rpm, desktop disks have speeds of hardly below 7200 rpm.\nIn case of the RAMs it's more difficult to make a statement. Due to the lower FSB speed in notebooks, RAMs with smaller Cas Latency are available. This does compensate the higher Cas Latency in RAMs for higher clocked FSBs.

Depends on your needs, actually. My vote goes for IBM T43 (I trust the brand, it's light, and I've used a T42 for a while) or a Dell Latitude D810 (better graphics card, slightly cheaper; my office has 3 of them and they've not failed yet).

As a rule, never go for a Celeron.\nThe diference is in the arhitecture of the PC itself.\nFor example the Pentium has a 1mb level 2 cache. The Celeron has half of that. This translates in slower speeds at processing flow. \nIf you want the best for your laptop go for the full featured mid-range processor either from AMD or Pentium.\n\nSempron from AMD comes in the same way, with less multimedia instructions and much less cache memory.\n\nI still won't recomend Pentium 4 based laptops because of heat generated by these processor. In laptops this translates in increased speeds from the cooler and faster battery outage. Hold out until the Core 2 Duo laptops jump on the wagon, if they haven't already or move to the AMD based laptops which will give you better performance than Pentium 4.\nWith longer battery life too!

Depends on what you call economical!!!\nyou can try the HP nx 6325, this notebook is a wonderful piece!! and it has a DVCD+/- RW Writer and a dual core processor!! ie the blazing fast AMD Turion 64 X2, and 512 MB of DDR2 533 MHz RAM which you can ( or possibly SHOULD) upgrade to 1 GB of DDR2 800 MHz RAM!!
