I’m going to buy a laptop, exactly compaq cq40. but i was confused by the processor. i search around and got a cq40 with specs as below :
- Dualcore 2.16
- Ram 2 GB
- HDD 320 GB
- 14.1 display screen
- webcam
- multiDVD
- win Vista home premium
but my problem is, some ppl told me that dualcore isn’t too good, better c2d, but i couldn’t find any cq40 with c2d processor got a large storage than the one cq40 with Dualcore.
and also cq40 with c2d is over-budget..
can you please solve my problem??

and i wanted to know the difference between dualcore and core2duo?

AMD or Intel?

Both of these are highly powerful devices….
For your day to day work both of these will give you the best performance…
You will notice that you even won’t able to utilize their power 100%….

“People don’t buy engines they buy cars”.

The above quotation is worth to consider when you are buying a laptop or a computer.

I know that the PROCESSOR is very important part to be considered while purchasing a machine but it is not the only one.

For eg. most of the time you may notice that the CPU utilization is very few times reach at it’s peak.

So, when you are searching for the best one, don’t take the decision based on processor.

What I have experienced so for you can consider the below points as well…

1) For what purpose or what kind of work you need a machine… wanna play games watch movies… or for your business or…. for programming…

2) Primary Storage or memory type or size and it’s maximum limit…

3) On processor cache size…. (L1 & L2)

4) Secondary storage or HDD speed (eg. 5600 rpm )… as this the most time consuming operation… the HDD better rpm will definitely improve the performance.

5) On board or mother board architecture…. some architecture can really help in improving your system performance…

6) In case of laptop… you should prefer the hardware that is specifically configured or built for the laptops… hint: look for the “Mobile Technology” logo on it…. such systems are specially optimized….

7) The last but the most important is the”Service after sales”..

hi..

I plan to buy a laptop..but my boyfriend wants me
to have either Presario B1293tu or the newer model
CQ40-107au coz of its compact size. Both are of same
brand but have different processor. I been asking him
whats best for me and for him since we will be the
one to use the unit. I usually do a little grafix
editing, typing, i also do Visual Basic programming
and PHP. and my boyfriend does play his music, watch DVDs, a bit of photoshop, online games-tactics, and
alot of downloads-software, drivers, movies, etc.

Now im asking, whats your suggestion Choto, which is ideal for us with our budget of 30k.

The B1293tu which has the following specs:
-Dual Core 1.86GHz T2390
-1gb RAM
-120gb HDD
-12.1? display screen
-DVDRW
-BlueTooth
-webcam

while CQ40-107au has:
-Athlonx2QL60 1.9ghz
-1gb RAM
-160gb HDD
-14.1? display screen
-DVDRW
-HDMi
-5in1 card reader
-webcam
