Considering buying a laptop

I've had a look on there and can't find one I'm after. That one is good, but it's only 1.5Ghz and only has 1GB of ram. I'm looking for one with 2GHz processor speed and 2GB of ram if possible.

What about this?

I'm not sure what one to get! I can't seem to find any 2GHz ones within my budget, so I think I'm going to have to settle for something lower. I went to lots of stores today and found these two which I really like. Which do you think is the best?

HP PAVILION DV6615

Or

TOSHIBA A210-17I

The HP has an AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core (1.8GHz, 1600 MHz FSB, 512 kB Cache), where as the Toshibia has an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 Processor (1.9GHz, 1600 MHz FSB, 1 MB Cache). I've never heard of the Turion processors so I'm not sure what they're like.

Any input greatful!

I'd go for the Toshiba between them, personally because of the larger Cache, processor speed and I think better graphics card.

Turion is another processor from AMD - it's their best type I think.

Turion is the Intel equivalent to the Centrino CPU's. Basically it's was a model made for laptops unlike a Core 2 Duo or a Athlon 64 x2 which were first developed for desktops first. It's really just a name (well their are differences) but you don't need to worry about it.

Buy a MacBook Pro and put Windows on it. Best combination ever.
