Which one of laptops is better? HP Pavilion AMD Turion 64x2 Dual core- or Acer Intel core TM 2 Due?

Question

Both have same RAM,Screen size, Hard drive,accessories . But the Acer one is 100$ cheaper

Answer 1

the hp... trust me. i have the hp pav amd tur 64x2 and its tight. i work in the computer dept. at staples and the amount of acers coming in for repair vs. the amount of hps is ridiculous. acer gets their hardware from all over the place, and its not spectacular. get the hp.
TRUST

cheers

Answer 2

Both pretty much have pitfalls. The ACER will come formatted in FAT32, so that's always a big negative. The coreduo (not the core2!) and the turion X2 are cpmparible, with perhaps the intel chip being a shade faster Of the two, I'd get the HP. They have a good warranty (up it to three years, seriously) and will fix most machines locally.

Answer 3

I would personally go for the Acer...mostly because I am not a big fan of HP. They make better printers than they do PCs. Plus I absolutely hate Compaq computers, and now that they are owned by HP I will never buy one. And I like Intel better than AMD as far as CPUs are concerned.

Answer 4

Defiantly AMD, sixty 4 bit technique with 32 bit compatibility will continuously beat any Intel processor no remember what. additionally the AMD processors have 2GHz front Bus speed on an identical time as All Intel Has 800Hz front Buss speed additionally AMD processors with twin middle are in a position to maintain extra potential then Intel with the flexibility to coach off a center if its not needed saving huge volume or potential or battery potential!

Answer 5

Going by name alone...the HP.

Acer is one of those companies with which you either have a great experience, or a horrible experience...except their LCD panels / monitors, which are very reliable.

Generally speaking, the AMD dual is better, although one of Intel's chips appears to be the next "big" thing if you're into overclocking. A friend is benchmarking his system with a new $400 Intel core duo that when overclocked to 3+GHz beats the snot out of a $1200 chip.

Answer 6

The HP, acer makes crappy laptops. Plus it has an AMD chip wich is perfect for gamming :)

AMD chip-based computers usually cost less anyway so you save a buck or two to buy CD's and stuff :)

Answer 7

It depends on the specifications of the laptop. Try checking first the size of hard drive, video, and its memory. but I think HP is better because I use HP Pav dv9000z and it works good.
