Hi all..i m new here..

wanted to get a laptop soon..

have few questions in mind...

is the Hp-compaq Presario V3218 using the Centrino Duo Technology ?
becoz some brochures say Centrino Duo, some just stated Intel Pentium Duo Core..what processor this model uses?

and if compared to the AMD model (V3222), which one is a better deal?

how are their battery lifes generally? planned for normal usage..

Thanks in advance
