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?
Centrino or Turion64?

QUOTE(cks2k2 @ Oct 2 2006, 08:29 AM) 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. 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!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. |

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. |

QUOTE(prasys @ Oct 3 2006, 03:31 PM) 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 meAMD Turion 64 1.8Ghz 80gig hdd 512mb RAM and some free gifts too... |
