Laptop processor

i need some help in buying a laptop....i jus wanted 2 kno..wat is the absolute best processor around for laptops..??..and which is better...a pentium 4 or AMD...(sth dat wud suite xtreme gamerz..)

 

AMD.

 

Intel Mobile CPUs are better than AMDs when it comes to laptop computers. The AMD will perform quite well but will use up your battery pretty fast and will generate a lot of heat (so will a Pentium 4, what you need is either a Celeron M or Centrino).

 

but which is the fastest....is a AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 4800+ with HyperTransport and Dual Core Technology better than a Pentium 4 3.60 ghz.....and wat wud u prefer...ALIENWARE...DELL....SONY...HP/COMPAQ ??

 

well i have an AMD HP laptop, and its only like 1.8ghz but it can play games quite well, but thats more coz its got high ram, but you will have to play connected to the mains...

so yeh, look for high ram, itll be more notcieable

 

AMD for sure. And nineteen extra batteries.

 

I suppose laptop makers assume that you have your laptop plugged in for power when you use it.

 

Most laptops clock down their processing speed when they're not plugged in anyway.

 

If you're really looking for a gaming laptop then the AMD line is stronger. But you should know that a gaming laptop will weigh a crap ton load, have 0 battery life, be a pain in the ass to carry, and huge in dimension.

If you want a PORTABLE computer, ie what laptops are usually intended for, and are looking for battery life, very decent performance, and smaller form factor, the Pentium M line is the way to go. I can easily get 3 hours video playback, and close to 5 wordprocessing with mine, and its due to the Pentium M. Throw in a widescreen lcd and you've got a hell of a portable dvd player. The laptop will be smaller and lighter, thus more portable. Will you be able to play all games at crazy settings? No. But throw in a decent graphics card and it'll run basically anything out now very well, and newer games easily at medium settings.

Up to you, but when I think laptop, I think portable.

 

NO, no P4. they aren't mobile proccesors. my friends toshiba has a P4 and it overheats like the sun. so, avoid any non-mobile processors if your getting a laptop. intel has a good selection of mobile processors.

 

thnx dudes...very much appreciated...i was goin for an alienware but now i chnged my mind..first of all it costs like crap..5000$ +....my dad almost fainted.....and it weighs like a bag of sack...battery life 1 hr 15 mins...shit!!!..but the best part bout dat is the GEforce fx-7800...my jaws dropped whn i saw dat...but i dunno..now i think i ll go for a DELL or a HP...

 

I dont like their desktops, but I will say Dell makes good laptops.

 

Yep, I'd agree on the quality of Dell's laptops.

 

I'll admit I have a Dell laptop too [which I adopted one day, actually], and after a few reformats, it's pretty good. Not the best, but it's good enough.
