Hi everyone,
Actually I am going to buy a notebook computer and someone told me that Pentium M twice as fast as Pentium 4. Is that really true? Also, the top speed of Pentium M is 2.13GHz presently and i am going to buy a laptop of 1.73GHz. Is this fast enough to keep up with the improving technology? cuz i dont want to buy laptop again 3 yrs later.
By the way, i may show u the specification of the laptop. Give me some comments
Take a look on the graphic card cuz sometimes i will play game with it.
