benji!!!!! Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I posted a similar thread yesterday about laptop choices, and was grateful for all the responses. I was reccomended to look at slightly higher spec machines so have come up with these two. So, to the question.. The first one (HP) is £450 and the second one (Toshiba) is £490, but the Toshiba has an Intel Dual Core and the HP has an AMD dual core and after reading a thread about AMD and Intel it seems Intel are the ones to go for. So would you spend an extra £40 to get an Intel processor? Sorry for the repetitiveness, your views will be greatly appreciated. http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/470295/?cm_sp=FeatureEnd-_-Laptops-_-position2 http://www.dixons.co.uk/martprd/store/dix_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1446653563.1225369865@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccjadefhmddddgcflgceggdhhmdfhm.0&category_oid=&sku=271410&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
george94 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 No, I still believe that they are basically the same AMD and Intel. The rest of the specs are the same basically so I really wouldn't bother but it's up to you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdunk Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The toshiba has a better graphics card aswell, so I'd be tempted to pay the extra. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmurfDude Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Personally I'd rather build one to my own specification. But seeing as not everyones studied ICT I guess not everyone can do it. But I'd recommend buying the one with the Intel CPU, that way you have an Intel chipset on your motherboard and may be able to upgrade it to a quad core further down the line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
