Hi guys I would like to know the difference between Intel and AMD....does AMD have battery saving mode like Intel? AMD are famous for hot chips, so what if I run more than 4 hours?

yes in fact they do and it is insnt that hot. So if you're looking for a cheap laptop which has all the specs you're looking for , go with Turion

Yeap.. Prasys is right!
Turion is 64-bit and it has something like Intel's speedstep but it's called AMD PowerNow! and it runs great with Notebook Hardware Control.

hahaha thanks guys....actually i was thinking of getting Fujitsu S2110, it's running on Turion but i heard they said that Turion is very hot for processing, I don't want to get myself in trouble end of the day.....

Right i really suggest u buy a AMD Turion64

Turion64 platform is attractive becasue of the low cost. Compared with the Core Duos you get more computing power per ringgit, and 64-bit support. Still, it's performance per ringgit - for absolute computing power and battery performance you still cannot beat Centrino. This is Intel's killer platform and they are fully intent on keeping it that way.

I would wait for the 64-bit Core 2 Duo Centrino notebooks to become available widely before making a comparison, since it's not really fair right now (the Turion can do something the Core Duo can't at all.

Performance: Centrino Duo with Intel Core 2 Duo

Budget: Turion X2

But I don't see fujitsu having Turion64, anyway i'm not using it for games....Just paperwork will do, but the problem is that I will on it for more than 8 hours...

Theres another one which is cheaper,same model but it has only 60GB HDD for RM3899.

If for gaming, which one better?

Of course AMD la

Just wanna ask which reasonable and recommended laptop for gaming?
Budget below 4K. Turion X2 good for gaming? I heard got heat prob.

better takes compaq with AMD Athlon X2 and it comes with Nvidia graphics integrated.

How about long processing hours and the heat problem? Is there any? If no i will get this baby !~

I doubt you can find a laptop that can run 8 hours straight. I'm using a Thinkpad with extra capacity battery and it gives me 4.5 hours only.

Oh if you have money to burn, go for the Centrino 2 Duo. Else Centrino Duo. Turion is cheap though but performance wise still lacking.

pentium m vs turion... i think turion wins

core duo vs turion X2... core duo wins

it's easy....just take out the battery use adaptor.....but i'm afraid ofthe heat only....! If AMD's heat gone wild then i'm so dead!

u dont have to worry with the heat problem for fujitsu s2110.compare to compaq v3000 amd series,u will feel more better with fujitsu s2110

if u decided to get this model,do call me

I get about 7.5 hours on my fujitsu P7010D with the modular bay battery. And it doesn't have any extra protrusions either heh.

That's AMD Turion x2

I heard that it could last around 3 hrs or so.. Not too sure though..

If it's so,just get a decent coolerpad and it does the job well..

No such thing as Centrino 2 Duo in the market. Even the upcoming Intel 'Santa Rosa' platform (update for the current Centrino Duo), its commercial name is not yet finalized.

So in that case buying the s2110 is on the safe side compared to the Compaq model, as the heat wouldn't be that.
I'm looking for the 60gig model because i use that rig for paperwork purposes only.

You can get it from Networld.

I was thinking of upgrading the 256 to 512 but don't know how much it cost...is it possible to add another 256 or do i need to buy a new 512?

I think you could buy a 256MB of RAM for it , or you could ask the shopkeeper to replace the 256MB with a 512MB.

thanks for the info....i went to lowyat yesterday, they said the model i'm looking for is not available in the market already! For the price of RM3,999 they are offering me

AMD Turion 64 1.8Ghz
80gig hdd
512mb RAM
and some free gifts too...

That's a good deal too..

yea, gonna get my babe next month!!!

sony up to 8 hours normal batt and extended 12 hours. just take amd and save.

I sawa Vaio which is 13" selling at the price of rm3,999 too...it's centrino and build in 256ram....but the problem is that the model is an old model....

if laptop is mostly used in the desk..then get a turion X2... better for gaming

What graphics chip/card it has? Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken,I think it;s ATi Radeon Xpress 200M.

Compaq V3000 series that using Turion 64 X2 chips using Geforce 6150 with 128mb ram ..that's better for gaming... priced only rm2799

V3000?

1. Heavy
2. Big in Size...
3. Not playing games anyway


Overall....it's a no no!

it also depend on wat other spec in the laptop,casing material,cooling system,size of the notebook

turion is faster than centrino if i'm not mistaken...
its all with the 64 bit thingy...

if u think of v3000 series like that, i wonder how would u define dell 6400... which im really sick of hearing it all over in da forum..
