I hope this can help people to better find their ideal notebook.
So I am pretty open to almost any brand. I usually buy intel stuff, but I really don't care as long as I can play my movies when I need to via HDMI. I have been looking and found some gateway's that I like the price vs. performance, but I really don't know much about the AMD chips or chipsets. Here are a couple that I am comparing right now.
Gateway with Athalon II and HD 4200 graphics chip
Another Gateway with Athalon II and HD 4200 graphics chip
3rd Gateway with Athalon X2 QL65 and HD3200 graphics chip
Dell with T6600 and 4500MHD chip
So is it better to get the Athalon II chip with what I am assuming is the stronger video chip in the HD 4200 or is the Athalon X2 QL65 that much better of a chip even though it only has the HD 3200 chip? Or should I go a bit over budget and score the Dell with the T6600?
Thanks.
