Im considering buying a laptop and i have come down to two choices ...same features except one is a Mobile AMD® Sempron Processor 3000+ and the other is an Intel® Celeron® M Processor 370 which is better? they are both acer aspires the only difference is i guess the intel has a 1mb l2 cache and the amd has a 256kb l2 cache....i just wanta cheap laptop to kill time in class..i just bought a new desktop and am happy with my amd so shud i go with amd or the intel?
 
Between the two, the Sempron is a bit faster. It's clock is around 1.8 and the celeron is at 1.4 or 1.5 (depending on the model you're looking at). Which model were you looking at, the 3003WLCi? We haven't had any complaints on that unit or any other Acer products. Either one should serve you well. For an average user, if you didnt know what was under the hood, you probably couldn't know which was faster between the two (this or the celeron 3613WLCi).
 
the celeron will have better battery life most likely, but I'm personally not a fan of any of the cheap processors, the 256k L2 is definitely not as good as the 1mb, not to mention the sempron's faster. I'd say if battery life is a big issue, stick with the celeron, but otherwise go with the sempron
 
Yes, that is true, the Celeron will give you better battery life, not as much as a Pentium M, but much better than a Sempron.
 
What socket is the semperon? if its 754, i would DEFINATLY suggest it, and if not i would sitll rpabaaly go with it, but it wont be as much better.

[Quick tip. Program your wireless card to work on the TV in class, and have somefun with turning it on and off, and ejecting the DCD tray and such]
