Solved! WHAT KIND OF PROCESSOR DO I NEED?

[k_rose08]

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a notebook and am finding that AMD processors are cheaper. I will need the notebook for running at least 3 diff apps at the same time and will more than likely have at least 4 webpages open at any given time and will be designing clothes...what's the cheapest I can go as far as processors? Is the Intel duo core or intel pentium any good? what about the AMD turion II or amd athlon or even the AMD turion neo x2....HELP, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO?

What is your overall budget? They are all good processors.
Turion NEO x2 CPUs would be slower than some of the others you've listed, but still something you could work with and they'd have longer battery life.
TOSHIBA Satellite T135D-S1325 Turion Neo X2 L625(1.60GHz) 13.3" 4GB RAM & 320GB HDD $550

Bestbuy.com has some Dell Inspiron 1545 laptops for $479 that look pretty good. Pentium T4400 15.6" LCD 3GB RAM & 250GB HDD
Dell Inspiron 1545 reviews. And you'd get a chance to take a look at them before you buy.

Hi k_rose, I would like to ask you what application will you be using when you are designing the clothes? Would you be using photoshop and such? And whats your budget? Since you seems to be very concern about the price.
Cheers,
