M powered or Core Duo powered?
Hi,
My dad wants a laptop, it's HP DV1000
I know there is a core duo version, but I can't find it here in Ireland, and I don't know when the hell is it going to be available, but Centrino DV1000 is being sold in PCWorld and Dixons.
So I was wondering if he does not go with Duo, is it a big loss? will the performance loss be noticibly worse with what he does.......
He does:
Office programs
Accounting program
burn cds
listen to music sometimes
surf net
that's basically it
he does not:
Play games
Encode video/audio
Archive lots of stuff
Oh and I don't know about future proofing, Vista needs a decent graphics card, and this laptop has an intergrated one, on the other hand, he does not like all the "effects" and prefers the good old classic theme, but will Vista have it?Last edited by CyberGhost; March 7th, 2006 at 07:22 PM.

No, he'll never see a difference doing any of that. Actually a mobile Celeron would be just as adequate too.

Yes the Pentium M versions of the DV1000 would be good enough, even Celeron mentioned above. But I'd jump on the P-M because it's better, faster, and longer battery life.
