i made a quick search on yahoo and google and found this site, it's like the ultimate search site on Laptops.\n\nI was looking for some answers for some questions I was asking on laptops too and it came really handy, I want to share it with you if you haven't already discovered it...\n\nthese guys are fantastic experts and they sometimes answer the question you put on the website straight away.\n\nhttp://imedia.atspace.com/laptop.htm\n\nif you find the site useful i really suggest you nominate my answer as the best answer please.\n\nthank you

- Go for a Intel Mobile processor\n- 60+ gb hdd\n- dvd writer\n- bluetooth/infrared\n- 512MB RAM with upgradable features available\n- all the best.\n------------------

THE INTEL DUO CORE IS MUCH MORE BETTER THAN INTEL PENTUM M \n\nIT RUNS AT 667MHZ  FSB AND M RUNS AT MAX 400MHZ

AMD is far superior to Intel.  In laptop land you will want to look for a AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 3500+ or 4000+ and if you can get the 4000+ you will be one very lucky, person.  I wanted the laptop with a 4000+ processor in it and they ran out of stock before I could get over to Best Buy so I guess I'll have to make do with my 3000+.\n\nIf you're looking for benchmarks, see the link below.  Notice all the processors at the top are AMD.

GO FOR COMPAQ PRESARIO V2381.CHAEP AND BEST.......

Pentium Extreme E........ if u want real performance with games.\nIts a very good processor,but takes a lot of power.Also hav a pretty good cooling system if u r goin 4 dis

I would recommend this CPU:http://www.techfever.co.uk/products.asp?partno=8323&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=pricegrabber and this motherboard:http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=470940&source=pricegrabber\nThe Core 2 Duos are the best out right now, and ASUS motherboards are high quality motherboards.

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!

If it's a single thread program, the pentium 3.0 ghz\nIf it's a multi thread program, the dual core.

i like this question, suggestion for that is Dell's Inspiron E1505 due to the Core Duo processor - go with the state of the art.\nhttp://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/entnb_e1505?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

I configured a Dell laptop with ALL the trimmings for over $10,000.\n\nIt had the fastest dual core processor, 4gigs ram, 120gig 7200rpm hard drive, 17" screen, the WORKS!!

actually, right now is a bad time to buy a laptop, i would wait a few months for intel's next-gen merom core duo which will be a 64-bit supported processor (unlike the current yonah core duos)\n\nanyways, less than $1000 won't get u much when it comes to a laptop.\n\ncpu: either intel pentium m centrino, amd turion, or intel core duo (if possible)\n\nmemory: 1gb or higher (doesn't really matter what speed the memory is at because u probably won't be doin ne overclocking or such)\n\nvideo card: any will work since you aren't playing any games\n\naudio: if audio is a huge concern, you should buy a separate audio card to stick into the laptop. otherwise, most intel laptops come w/ an onboard HD audio chipset.\n\nmy reccomendation: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834115245

Out of those - go for the pentium 4 - but the new intel's - core 2 duo's are really kicking a$$ at the moment. - I'd seriously consider looking at a low end one of those even if it's a little over budget.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115005

buy any hp dual processor laptop you can get good one for 1000 dollars. i would recommend buying it from circuit city/compusa. they will have good sale on thanksgiving. hp laptops have this cool feature called quick play, you can watch movies, enjoy music on your laptop without loading windows and they have a remote control so they are just like DVD players

Right now, AMD makes the best processors in my opinion. This doesn't mean that all AMD processors are better than Intel processors, however, just that the top of the line AMDs are the best you can get in my opinion. You are on the right track getting dual core. Don't look at clock speeds if you are comparing Intel to AMD, as they rate them differently and AMDs report slower clock speeds even though the chip may be faster. If you really want to get down to it, checck the benchmarks that http://www.tomshardware.com have. They will help to show which processors are faster at which tasks.\n\nIf my answer was helpful, don't forget to consider rating it as the best. Thanks!

do you have plenty of Ram?\nMost peopl don't change the motherboard on laptops so your processing speed tends to be limited.

Personally, I'd go with Centrino (which I believe is now called Pentium M).  I don't believe a Pentium M chip is close to 3.0GHz but there are other benefits aside from the reduced speed of the processor.  The main problems that I have with a P4 chip and any laptop is the amount of heat that is generated and the weak battery life.  A P4 chip wasn't really designed for a laptop unlike Centrino, which Intel designed specifically so that laptops would run longer without as much heat.  I think that's more important.  If you go ahead with the P4 chip, I would definitely make sure that the heat and the low battery life aren't going to be annoyances to you.  There are also more features to Centrino than just these but that's beyond the scope of this question.  Anyhow, most laptops are coming with 512MB RAM, which should be plenty for most common tasks.  If you consider yourself a power user, you may want to go with 1GB.  I'm not too familiar with laptops that come with AMD chips...I've actually never heard of any.  And Pentium is always better than Celeron.
