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.

Every answer above is what 90% of the population believes. Dell, HP...etc. I have done a lot of research into this subject. You need to know about OEM and ODM companies. A great place to get information on this and all notebook questions is at notebookforums.com\n\nPeople who are "in the know" buy notebooks from companies such as Sager, Prostar, Hypersonic, Alienware and my favorites are Falcon-NW (luxury) & ASUS. ASUS makes some of the best built most stylish laptops available. Do a Google search to find online resellers. Most of the ones I listed above are not to be found in a store but rather online.  If you must have follow the pack and get an average laptop from a local electronic store then I would suggest HP. Stay away from Emachines at all costs! As well as anything from Fry's...not good to deal with them. Good luck!

you posted in wrong section\n\nthe e6300 is a desktop processor\n\n> yes, its good, not awesome\n1.86 ghz, 1066 mhz fsb, 2 mb l2 cache\n\nthe e6400 is 2.13 ghz, 1066 mhz fsb, 2 mb l2 cache\n\nthe e6600, e6700 have higher clock speeds, but that's not all, their l2 cache is an awesome 4 mb\n\nas for the notebook core 2 duo series from intel,\nthe t7x00 is awesome, featuring 4 mb l2 cache !

Get the Compaq Presario V3000Z series. It's very cheap (I bought mine for $479.99) , and performs well. You can find it here:\nhttp://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Usage&v1=Everyday+computing&series_name=V3000Z_series

Gateway.com has some great options.  I`ve had mine for about 5 mo. now with no trouble at all.  It's great for taking notes and photo editing. I forget what other brands I looked at but at the time gateway had the fastest processor and biggest screen available for a reasonable price.

Definitely the Athlon 64x2.  It's the best processor on the market and completely thrashes Intel in any benchmark test.  Any amount of memory over 2GB is purely academic but you could always upgrade your motherboard and processor at a later time if you really wanted to get more memory.  If you are looking for proof (though I am sure you have done your homework), http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/the_mother_of_all_cpu_charts_2005/page24.html but most of the ones at the top are single core Athlon 64 chips and the Pentium 4 is nowhere to be seen.  That being said there weren't many multithreaded applications for the dual core chips to take advantage of.  Once games and applications are enabled to take advantage of two core chips the x2's will be riding high at the very top.  Intel, you suck!

i never had my hands on an acer notebook, but if i had to choose between an acer and a dell, i would go with the dell.\nfor example the Dell XPS M140 (with Pentium M7x0) and the Inspiron E1505 (with Intel Core Duo T2x00) are worth a look.

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

Looks like Dell, HP, and Sony are at the top according to CNET.  Check out the reviews on all the top models:  http://reviews.cnet.com/Notebooks/2001-3121_7-0.html?tag=glnav\n\nYou can sory by manufacturer, price, type, and a ton of other criteria.

Buy the most powerful model you can afford.  Screen width is not as important as processor type and speed, and ram.

Celeron and Pentium are processor types made by Intel. Celerons are the worst processor you can get--they will at best last a couple of years before slowing down and will break shortly after--their only advantage is they are cheaper then Pentiums. There are two types of Pentium processors that are sold today: Pentium 4 (or P4) and Centrino (or Pentium M; these are designed to be used in laptops because they use less power). Pentiums are fairly good, but aren't the best, and they are very expensive. \n\nI would suggest using AMD processors. The AMD Sempron competes with the Celeron, the AMD Turion competes with the Centrino, and the AMD Athlon competes with the Pentium 4, but the AMD processors are more reliable, will last longer, are faster, and are much less expensive; especially the Sempron, which  can sometimes outperform Pentium 4s.

No.\nIf you have listed everything you want your laptop to do you aren't going to need to spend money getting a great CPU. Focus on ensuring that it has enough RAM (at least 512MB) and you should be sweet with any of the listed processors.\n\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

Forget the Intel "Core 2 Duo" and look instead to those using the new AMD Turion. If you have the money, have a look at the new Alienware notebooks - Mac has NOTHING which even scratches the surface on these bad-boys (esp if you opt for the 1GB of graphics memory) ...you'll never look back
