AMD Turion64 X2 or Intel Core Duo?

Depents where you like to use your laptop for, a little bit more input would be welcome .

I'm gonna be using it for everything except gaming (programming, word processing, running virtual machines, surfing the net, etc.)

Then I would go for a CPU that uses less power, and make sure you will get a 6-cell battery.

I'd say the Intel Core Duo in either case. Your main performance boost when it comes to gaming will come from your video card - chances are both CPUs will be able to handle about the same.

The Core Duo is a pretty rock solid setup for any user.

And puntoMX... why not get a 9-cell battery? That's what I've got (with my Sonoma core).

either will be fine, whatever u can get cheaper, you wont be upset

even though im an avid AMD supporter i would have to say go with the intel chip, its far more efficient when it comes to number crunching and other such boring tedious tasks.

LOL yeah, what I wanted to say is: DON´T buy a laptop with a 4-cell battery .
