Answer 1

you don't need a nice graphic card in programming. a P4 with atleast 512mb would run nicely. in fact, the specs that would fit best woulddepend on the OS you would be using for thelaptop. I believe Windows Vista requieres atleast 1GB RAM therefore that would mean if you install Vista on the laptop you are about to purchase then that would be a bit slow. The amount of hard disk space would depend on what you're placing on it. If you have lots of multimedia such as pictures, video and music then having a large one is in order

1st configuaration

Answer 3

of course the first is better..

It has a better processor (Core 2 Duo vs Dual Core)
Better hard disk (160GB vs 120 GB)

I'm not sure with the ATI x300 vs the GMA945, for me both are standard graphics for laptops and they are not that powerful.

Answer 4

Friend
you can just choose Pentium Core 2 Duo b'coz more than Dual Core ,Core 2 Duo Proccesor is lates and support for your work also...

Answer 5

I would definitely go with first configuration even though the graphic card has shared memory but it good for you if you are going to use for programming and Internet surfing BUT if you are planning to use for Gaming purpose too then you have to upgrade the Graphic Card (None shared to on board memory).

P.S. check the Ram size for your second configuration.

Answer 6

you need to have look on the Toshiba Portege, satellite tv for pc and Qosmio sequence. they're the superb media-based laptops with great high quality. yet considering the fact which you pronounced Sony or HP, I choose Sony VAIO because of the fact Sony has a acceptance of great unique home equipment. Their laptops are great with tender chassis, and the overall performance is phenomenally solid. yet as quickly as I have been you, Toshiba laptops are my first determination.

Answer 7

Both of them are Good.
But you can go for second option,Bcos of pentium Dual core Processor.

Answer 8

I think both will work well..Probably just a question of money..
both these laptops are well beyond what is required for basic computing..goodluck..

Answer 9

i would go with the seconds config.
