Laptop Shopping
by Jim Herrmann 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

So, I'm planning to buy a laptop. I started out by looking at the low end of new ones today at the big box stores, and I thought I would run some questions by all you gurus out there. The lowest end of the laptop market today is so kick ass, maybe it doesn't matter anymore, but here goes. I found several CPU's being used in the lower end. Which one's do you all like for Linux on laptops: AMD Turion 64 Intel Core Duo T2050 AMD Sempron 3400 Obviously the Sempron just being a simple 32 bit processor was quite a bit cheaper, but the 64 bit and dual cores have become pretty price competitive. There was also an AMD Turion Dual Core, and the Intel Core 2Duo, but those were in a higher price bracket. I guess the question is, would you take a 32 bit dual core over a 64 bit single core, and is it even worth 200 bucks to go there over a single core 32 bit processor? Then the other question I would have is did any one go out to the early sales on Friday and get some great deals that they'd be willing to pass on for some cash above what they paid? I'm also not above considering a used laptop, but with the price/performance of the new laptops today, can a used one really compete? Let me just add that I want to do some mobile audio recording, but I'll probably get a USB2 audio card for that. Do you think it will matter what CPU I get for that to work well? Discuss. Thanks, Jim

I would disagree with that statement. Specially when it comes to Linux. nVidia I believe is much better supported in the Linux world.\ Jared >>> Luke-Jr <luke(a)dashjr.org> 11/26/06 11:37 PM >>> You'll want to be careful about WiFi and video chipsets. Not sure on the WiFi, but be sure you don't get an nVidia chipset if you need 3D performance. ATis up to the X850 and Intels should be good, though... _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug(a)kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
