I'm trying to compare an intel centrino to and AMD XP-m. It seems like im comparing apples to oranges. Take for example the HP ze4400 this notebook offers you the choice of an amd processor or an intel. they offer the amd's from 2200+ to 2600+ essentially 1.8ghz-2.133ghz and the intels from 1.8ghz-2.5ghz so can anyone tell me how these chips compare or where i can get a system (below) for cheaper? amd or intel 256mb ram 15" XGA screen 60gb hard drive dvd/cdrw (dvd-r if possible) 2 year or more warranty can anyone find around or cheaper than $1300? Xoom

i just got a new dell laptop and it really is pretty cool internal 802.11b/g wireless mini-pci card 15" sxga+ 40 gig 256 megs pc2100 (ddr266) pentium 4 2.4 ghz with 533 fsb dvd/cd combo drive take a look at DELL, you can probably get it under 1496 minus 200 rebate, just under your 1300...the display is excellent, a lot of laptops have just the xga display, the sxga+ is the 2nd best that dell offers

Here is a laptop you might like. Sony PCG-GRT170 Intel 845MP chipset Pentium 4 2.8Ghz (533) 512MB PC2100 60GB HD 64MB Geforce FX Go 5600 --- ;) 16.1 SXGA+ DVD/R+RW/CDRW Intergrated 802.11b wireless All for $2199 - $100 rebate = $2099
