Laptop CPU’s-A General Guide
Executive Summary about Laptop CPU by Darren Blythe
Laptop CPU
There are two things that really matter with laptop processors: the balance struck between processor power and battery consumption, and the links to mobile technology that enable you to make the most of the laptop’s portability. For the first, simply put, processors with the word mobile in their name are going to be the best choice, as in Mobile Intel Pentium 4 or Athlon XP Mobile or Turion. For the second, Intel’s combination of processor, chipset and wireless card technologies marketed under the brand name Centrino is hard to beat. A fine example of this is the Pentium Mobile (Centrino) 1.6 GHz which is equivalent in speed to a Desktop P4 3.0 GHz!! Fitting desktop components in a laptop is rarely a good idea.
