    that's about the best you'll get for the cash. it's a decent midrange compie, easily portable, but don't expect to do much gaming or lots of intensive tasks with any speed.

    Looks ok to me. I don't have a problem with the AMD chip either. I would even say that AMD is better than intel.

    yet another thread teleported out of 'All Other Topics' forum

    @IM1 - can you stop doing this and start threads in the correct forums, this is highly annoying...

    Turion 64 is a great proc but gets hot quick, recommend to pick up a lapdesk with usb fans, trust me.

    some games do work fine with onboard graphics. just not the latest games.

    that second one has too little memory (256MB)
