Help me pick a laptop:?

Question

My laptop died, so I'm replacing it. I'm a huge fan of Toshiba, and my warranty credit is only at TigerDirect.com.

My old one was a P35 Pentium 4 3.5GHz, 1.5GB DDR RAM, 17' widescreen - but I ran it at about half-speed most of the time to prevent overheating, so I'm used to about 1.8ish.

This is my main computer, but I don't do anything that intensive: web browsing, Notepad web design, AIM, word processing, basic Java/Visual Basic programming. The ability to multi-task is the most important thing.

Here are my four choices:

For simplicity, please refer to them by the model number (P35, M105, A105, F25)

Answer 1

In my opinion, the 2nd one and 3rd one are good for you. because first one is too big and heavy, and last one some functions *(like TV) are not very useful , when it run on computer the speed will be affected.

Answer 2

Ok, from what you are tell me it sounds like your old computer was built like a desk-top. Next I would buy a computer with parts built for a lap-top such as:

1. Intel Pentium M
2. AMD Mobile 64 Technology

The processor will run faster, will increase your battery life, & stop it from over heating. Next time I would also buy maybe a 15.4" or 14" screen. I hope you find a great life, that works.
