Which of these 4 laptops is best?

Fionn MacCool

This is a laptop for uni, but mainly for my room, so portability/battery life isn't the most crucial thing). I won't be doing much gaming on it other than Football Manager (not very graphic intensive).

Please take into account the cost (otherwise it will obviously simply be the most expensive one that's best), and feel free to recommend a better deal if you know of one!

Apologies for the prices being in £s, I copied it from a post on another forum. It should still give you an idea of the difference between the prices though.

Laptop A
CPU: AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-52
GFX: NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 6150
RAM : 1024
HDD: 120 gb
And a card reader thing
£445 inc VAT

Laptop B
Same as above except,
CPU: Intel Pentium dual core processor T2080
GFX: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
£430 inc VAT

Laptop C
Same as Laptop B except
2gb RAM
£499 inc VAT & Shipping

Laptop D
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Mobile Technology TK53
RAM: 2gb
GFX: ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 HyperMemory (integrated)
£387 inc VAT & Shipping

Processor speeds practically identical, graphics all integrated type but the last probably marginally better. You haven't said what OS they all have but presuming it's a flavour of Vista, having 2GB ram is worthwhile. Overall, whilst the last one has the oldest (I believe?) Processor, I'd tend to go for it anyway as having the best value per buck....

C or D. Personally, I would go for the former.

Not much between the two, TBH, so you need to look at other specs, such as hard drive space, memory card reader, integrated camera to distinguish which is marginally better.

The rest of the specs are the same (120GB hard drive), Windows Vista, no camera.

What do I need a card reader for (don't say to read cards >_>)?

To give one laptop the edge over another and make the decision easier for you.

If you don't neet it, then it's a non-issue.

It's handy if you have a digital camera as you don't need to keep a USB cable handy. You can just use the media card and put it into the reader. As long as the card is supported by the reader.

Defo Laptop D for me, best all rounder and it's the cheapest to boot.
