I want a new laptop. I dont know if I want the centrino duo from HP or from gateway... Is the duo even worth it? Intel and pcmag says not unless you heavy multitask. Well when on battery I usually have a lot of firefox tabs open, msn messenger, google notifier/desktop, aim, and maybe some music via headphones. Battery life is VERY important to me. I definitely like the look of the HP more. But the 8 cell gateway battery over the 6 cell seems appealing. I guess I could always buy an extra 6 cell with the HP. I also like the webcam on the HP. It is a little more money though. Per feature the gateway is cheaper. Should I wait for a dual core AMD 64bit Turion? Is the duo centrino even 64 bit? How much better will a dual core turion be as far as battery life or what not. Well guys I appreciate the help. Thanks in advance...
