I'm thinking of buying a laptop, I'm wondering what chipset seems better for a laptop, I know there's like Turion 64 and semperon from AMD. I'm going mid level, so something like a Semperon or Celeron I guess are my choices, what about the mobile xp cpu from AMD is that like semperon, I'd like something that can do graphics related stuff and multitasking.

Here are a name of a few I was looking at, maybe someone can give adice on which is best...

besides the processor, I'd say the first on

Edit: faster ram, bigger screen, biger hard drive, etc...
 
The first one... despite it being an Intel. Both are basement chips, though.

The RAM and the hard drive are the biggest advantage of the first over the second. The second's CPU is better... way better. Plus the second has wireless capabilities.

Bottom line... if you can get the extra RAM in or for the second one, I'd get the second one. You can always add an external herd drive later for bulk storage. Putting in lappy RAM ain't brain surgery...
