What specs do you recomend for Laptop

Flash_AAA · 08-17-2004, 05:32 AM

I want to know the specs for a laptop that will run mainly Power point presentations to a projector. p4, intel celeron or AMD, What minimum processor speed? How much memory.

I am a bit confused. To try to answer your question let me say that almost any laptop that you can buy will have the processing power to run MS Powerpoint presentations.

Yeah. With that kinda spec 256 ram would be fine. Integrated video would be fine. But I would suggest a Centrino processor. Dothan > Banijas. I am suggesting Centrino because they have an extraodinary battery life. And they are kinda like AMD, 1.8 ghz centrino is llike a 1.8 ghz amd. * 2800+ I believe? *

if that is all you need a laptop for, then a celeron will just do, but don't expect to do wonders with it.

In all but the highest end systems, it will be integrated video.

Indeedy however the Mobile Celeron gets somewhat unfairly tainted by it's desktop cousin. The Mobile Version actually has 256K of cache as opposed to the 128K on it's desktop version

Hmm.... That's quite odd... Intel's whack..

Nah they just learned from the consumer backlash against the desktop celeron... to be honest the mobile cele's arent that far behind their "full" brethen
