Close the thread, and thanks for your help. I bought the Toshiba. $699 after rebates.

Now that is an answer I was looking for :) If the processors are equal, then I would save the money. As of today though, the Toshiba is on sale for the same price. It all comes down to which processor is better. T2050 Core Duo Processor, 1.6 GHz, 2 MB L2, 533 MHz FSB or the AMD Turion 64 x2...

Which only brings more questions. What is the difference between a core duo processor (T2050), and a core 2 duo processor (T5500)? I didn't see the TL60 when I was building it on HP. so I must be on a different page as you.

Every time I think I've learned something, I come to a forum like this and find out how ignorant I am. My kid is going to college and needs a laptop. She has narrowed it down to 2 choices, an HP and a Toshiba. I would like to know which is the faster/better processor, since it appears that...
