Hey everybody! 2 questions about laptops:
I'm thinking about building a laptop, and I know that the CPU is of great importance to the laptop. I'll mainly be using it for basic programs and some database applications. With that said, which brand of processors (Intel M and any other Intel mobile processors, AMD Turion, or AMD Athlon 64 Mobile) is better for laptops? Mainly I'm interested about the comparison between Turion and Athlon 64, but I'm not ruling out Intel as an option, considering that many motherboards that I like run Intel only.
Also, I might be upgrading to cable or DSL soon (I use dial-up now), but I don't really know how the connection would work with a laptop. Do I need special equipment to connect my laptop to a normal cable/DSL connection, and will the speed be affected any?
Thanks to all for your help!
