im looking for a new laptop, wont be gaming or photo/video editing, just need it for everyday browsing/video watching. but i dont want it to bog down when theres 3 or 4 tabs open in the browser.
ive got 5 laptops here which are all pretty similar except for the processors, which would be the best?? or is there another one for around 500/under that yall would recommend? also one of them says its only wireless-b, my internet is only 10mbps DSL, so would the wireless-b be a problem?

ACER Lenovo #1 Lenovo #2 HP #1 HP #2 Yes it would I would spend a bit more and get a business class laptop which are better built/designed and will likely last longer than a entry level consumer laptop. something like this: http://www.provantage.com/hp-p6n19aa~7HEWW79C.htm |

Link or are the intel processors preferred over the amd? it seems the intels are what bump the price up that extra $50-100. are we talking HK(intel) compared to glock(amd) or HK(intel) compared to hipoint(amd)??

For every day browsing and video watching, get a tablet. Google Nexus products are good. Unless you absolutely need a laptop....which from your usage explanation, you don't. im not interested at all in tablets, ive tried ipads and tabs, just not my thing. |
| Check out techbargains.com and watch for a good deal on something you like. I have never been an HP fan and would never buy an Acer. I have had great luck with Dell computers although mostly business class. Had an Asus and it was ok. On a Sager now, which is a gaming laptop, and it is pretty nice, but much more expensive than you are looking for. Techbargains, though, usually will have good deals. Just watch it for a while and see the different sales. It changes every day. |

AMD is far behind regarding performance, efficiency (battery life) and thermals. For a gun comparison its like an HK (intel) vs a Ruger P series/S&W sigma (AMD) |

Just as a note - all the laptops on your original list have at least 902.11n - the HP laptop which is listed by Best Buy as having B actually has N based on HP's website. I don't think you can find a laptop toady (certainly not in 17") with anything less than N.
