My first laptop was a refurbished Compaq Presario 1505US and to begin with I had a lot of trouble; the retailer had installed incorrect memory modules and the hard drive was faulty. Since these problems have been fixed, the laptop has worked well; it's an old machine with poor graphics and slow memory but it is solidly built and reliable. Even though I have other laptops, I still regularly use the Compaq - the sound is impressive even if the TFT display is lacklustre. Compaqs do come with a ton of preloaded software that if allowed to run on start up can significantly slow down the system. Now a part of HP, they don't have the same appeal they once did...

What about it? Highly regarded system:\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16836116120

Very good. I enjoy them ^^. They Run Windows Xp Pretty Fast too. Mac os X is nice on it too. Only thing to complain upon is the retail software support thas it!

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!

I have an Acer laptop, and i like it.... Intel or Amd are both good processors, I have an AMD,but I highly reccomend that you do NOT get a celeron processor, they work good for a couple months, then they are the slowest dang things.

Have 1GB of RAM is good but your CPU is lacking. The Celeron really isn't designed for something like video editing. Video is very CPU intensive and you may want to consider upgrading the CPU if you have that option. Also, defrag your hard drive to improve performance. Ideally, video work should be done on a second hard drive known as a scratch disk (any hard drive works for that). You'll keep the load off your operating system drive.

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

1 MB L2 Cache would be v.good. if you want more then 2 MB would be great. But what you need to watch out for more than the cache is not getting a celeron processor because it would be slow. Also you should care about the bus speed of the processor and the motherboard.

i have an hp dv1000 series laptop...with intel pro/2200....the thing picks up even the weekest signals b/g...and if your getting a laptop with centrino its even better...it doens't consume much power to surf or work on documents....the only thing that really kills a battery is the DVD drive if your using it.

The specs are great. Make sure you shop around for the best deal first try PC World and http://www.dabs.com but you can't get a laptop of much better quality than that.\n\nHope this Helps!

You can think of a Celeron as a stripped down pentium. For chips at the same processor speed you will see that the level2 cache is less and the supported bus speeds are less.

There is one constant you can always depend on with Intel: Anything outperforms a Celeron. There are many reasons for this, all of which can be traced to the physical differences between the two processors. The most important differences between the two lie in their Front Side Busses (FSB), their cache, their clock speeds, and their internal instruction sets. Pentium 4 processors support up to an 800Mhz FSB while the Celeron supports a maximum of 533Mhz. What is the difference? Well, the FSB is the physical connection between the processor and the system's memory. At 533Mhz, the data transfer rate is theoretically 4.2 gigabytes per second. At 800Mhz, it goes up to 6.4 gigabytes/second. When dealing with applications that process intensive graphics or audio files, this makes a HUGE difference. Now, let's look at clock speeds. The Celeron's maximum clock speed as of right now is 3.33Ghz, and the Pentium 4 is 3.8 Ghz. In today's world, a 500Mhz difference won't impact performance as much as, say, 3 years ago. But still, 500 more Mhz won't at all hurt you! Now, let's look at perhaps the most important thing of all--cache. Cache is memory that is stored on the processor itself. It is used ALL THE TIME. The processor stores files/instructions in it's cache for instant access (the data transfer rate of the cache in the Pentium 4 is over 30 gigabytes/second!) and uses internal logic to decide which things to store in there. Obviously, the more cache the processor has, the more things it can store. The Celeron has 256 KB of cache which, in today's world, is horribly low. Most Pentium 4's out there now have 1 MB of cache, and the latest ones have 2 MB! This is either 4 or 8 times as much as the Celeron, and this translates to ASTRONOMICALLY HUGE performance increases! Every single thing you do on your computer becomes faster with more cache, and this is the number 1 reason why the Celeron is a slower performer when compared with an equally clocked Pentium 4 (and it's also one of the main reasons the Celeron is so much cheaper!). Lastly, the internal instruction programmed into the processors themselves are different. All currently produced Pentium 4's support a technology called "Hyper-Threading". Currently, processors are only able to process one thread (or instruction from a program) at a time. Hyper-Threading allows the Pentium 4 to process 2 threads at a time. In theory, this means it is twice as fast. But hold on, it's not as simple as it sounds. If you go onto a computer that has Hyper-Threading technology and look at the Device Manager, you will notice that there are 2 processors. If you look at the Task Manager, you will see 2 CPU's. But there really aren't 2 processors. One is virtually, and unfortunately it is hardly ever taken advantage of. Multi-threaded applications are not dominant in the market. Most everything out there is written for single-threaded processors because manufacturers don't expect a majority of the computers out there to have processors that can handle more than 1 thread at a time. Therefore most applications see no performance gain from having Hyper-Threading. However, those applications that DO support multi-threading will take advantage of the Pentium 4's technology and the performance is awesome! The Celeron would never be able to take advantage of that, and programs that are written for multi-threading are usually processor-intensive programs, and those types of programs perform sluggishly on processors with little cache. The definitive answer is that the Pentium 4 is by far the better processor, but with quality comes the price. If performance is what is driving this question, undoubtedly choose the Pentium 4. If price is the deciding factor, TRY to go with the highest-priced Pentium 4 your budget allows and if all else fails, get a Celeron.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 and I like it very much.  I've not had any problems with it so far.

It's an awesome laptop. The best thing about it is the Dual Core CPU. The Video Editing performance is awesome what used to take me an hour to do, know only takes 30min.\nNow did you bundle your laptop with the Intel950 video card or did you upgrade for a X1400 or even x1600??\nIf you have the intel 950 you probably already noticed that it sux when playing games. But the x1400 and x1400 are really great video cards for laptops :)\nI like the screen of my laptop nice and bright :)\nOverall very very happy with my laptop.

The equivalent of the sempron 3000+ 1.8 GHz is about the Celeron D 335 2.8GHz according to this test report.\n\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/2004q3/sempron/index.x?pg=1
