Wow...v3250 so worth to buy. v3222 doesnt have lo. When choosing the new laptop, i was considering v3222 but when comparing with v3203 beside me was totally disappointed with v3222 and lost the purchase mood at all.

Finally i was end up with BenQ R55 cos of quality built.

But i thought R55 is not the same class with V3222?

It was shining surface add-on to casing surface for the purpose of scratch protection.

So that chemical should be solid then.... but anybody got try scratching it with blade! Huauauahuuaauahhuaua....

Not all the V3K model having this features... cheaper one sure don't have... but only when hp release this V3250AU with cheap price plus scratch protection... but only inside surface!

Outside surface is without scratch protection...!

Cheers

Hi Guys, I'm planning to buy a Compaq Presario notebook...choosing between V3203TU (Intel Core2 Duo) and V3203AU(AMD)...I'm having a dilemma which one to buy..

.AMD Turion 64x2 isit faster than Intel Core2 Duo? which one of the two processors are better? For gaming, I know AMD is better...but what are the benefits of Intel's Core2 Duo? more stable and more energy efficient? I do play games but I need to know if Intel's Core2 Duo is better in terms of overall performance and speed...for normal applications like MATLAB and SOLIDWORKS. cos it seems AMD Turion 64x2 has been around a long while..(could it be starting to get obsolete?) but Intel's Core2 Duo has just come out..(upgraded from Core Duo)..From research, I feel Core2 Duo is better...but I need to know if its worth it sacrificing overall improved performance (Core2 Duo) for a gaming laptop.

(AMD)...And another thing...when is quad core coming out? anyone knows? hehe..how is the pricing?

speed, the Core2Duo is leading for no doubt

one disadvantage is, mostly the Core2Duo CompaQ laptop only comes with Intel GMA 950, which most of people claim its GAY!

and the AMD Turion X2 comes with the GeForce 6150 Intergrated GC

I got friend bought V3??? with Intel Processor and Intel GPU (GMA), he claimed that he was dissapointed choose Intel spec. If he come to know how good AMD spec + NVIDIA GPU for sure he will choose AMD spec.

He worked as a graphic artist and do freelance job!

I still believed if the person want to buy this lappy for study or to use in office, then INTEL is recommended since it has X factor developed for it. INTEL well known about their power saving and office use CPU technology.

Just My 2 Cents

how disappointed was ur fren? lol..

.like techie.opinion said...really intel GMA gay...definately not for gaming....I guess it depends on what u want to use the laptop for..gaming or office use...but i use for both leh....haiz...WHY CANT INTEL CORE2 DUO LAPTOPS HAVE NVIDIA GC like AMD??????????

but how about v3203AU(AMD) for softwares such as MATLAB and SOLIDWORKS? does it lag when running those softwares? anyone that has this laptop can comment? I was considering buying Intel Core2 Duo...now..looks like im gonna change my mind..but I dunno if AMD is a good choice...

hmmm, for the X2, its actually very good, at least for me, as I upgrade mine to 2gb ram, I cant say it have the best performance, but its still acceptable

as I try Warcraft 3, normal game with 12 players, although its lag while battle start, still its play-able

this is what I've on my lappy

OT: any networking pro here? I already connect my lan cable to my router, I can online, but then I cant seems to see the share file in my network, any ideas?
