Buying new laptop, which should i go for?

[maff1965]

Hi
I am planning to buy my first laptop for Video and Audio Work, i don't know anything about laptops so i hope some one can help me.
I am a little confused about the Processors i know about the P4 cpu's
But i have no idea about Intel Pentium M 735 1700MHz 2048KB, what are the differences between these? which is more powerful? i belieave its the P4, but i have no idea about the M cpu.
The links below are the 2 that i am interested in, have a look, would apreciate your feed back to help me choose the right one,
Thanks all

I would get the sony but that's only because I've never heard of Red Sub

P4's run in the 3.0ghz range and the Mobile "M" runs at 1.7ghz so it's significantly slower. From my understanding the M chips are better at conserving battery power and running at slower speeds (900mhz vs. 1700mhz) to when ever possible if it's configured that way. YOu can make it think it's a desktop by changing the power scheme settings in windows cpanel

Looking at the specs of the ones you want the red sub is a better computer all around

Just my .02¢
