Hello,
I am getting a laptop tomorrow and am undecided between two laptops. I was basically wondering which processor was better, my choice is between a AMD TURION ML32 and a CELERON M 360.
The links to the two laptops are:

Thanks very much.

The Celeron is, was, and always will be the Intel bargain processor. I've never liked it and never will. It's pokey and inferior. This model is 32-bit and 1.4Ghz, which isn't very fast, even for the Intel Mobile line.
The Turion is AMDs new flagship mobile processor. It is quite comparible to AMD normal Athlon 64 processors. AMDs bargain processor is the Sempron, which the Turion definitely is not. The Turion is a 64-bit processor as well, which means you'll be ready for the new x64 when it becomes useful. The Turion is designed to be a low voltage(low temperature) processor for mobile computers. This model is the slowest one of that line, 1.8Ghz (big surprise).
You can see the first computer(Celeron) has twice the video memory but the price is the same. You decide from there.
-DFMSI Neo4 Platinum BIOS v1.6b3
Athlon 64 3700+ @ 2640Mhz 11x240
Kingston KHX3200 2-3-3-6-1T 9:10
2x80GB DeskstarTK80 SATAII - Nvidia Raid 0, SATA 1&2
1x250GB Diamondmax 10 16mb cache SATA 3

yes...I would go for the Turion. I noticed also the Turion has a 1.6Ghz so the 1.8 is not the slowest of the line. I think it would not only be wise but very cool to own an AMD Turion processor. "I own a Celeron" sounds like you are poor and can't afford a P4...not cool.

Turion. Definitely.
I'd even take a Sempron over a Celeron, but I'm an AMD guy, so don't mind me too much.
AMD Sempron 2800+....Last of the Socket A's
