Doing a quick look around between the 2 obvious differences in the choices.
Athlon is a better choice as it is a normal voltage processor. In other words. capable of faster speeds. But draws more power. Thus less battery . Turion is ultra low voltage processors which means more lasting batteries and working time. Both have got similar speed range but I believe athlon is going to be faster. Acer.....  This name equates to dooms day.. One of the lowest grade laptops I would go for. Refurb..... equals.... repaired once before.. and that equates to no warranty.. And means, it has died before. I suggest you put your money into other choices. Look around and if you alternative choices within your budget. Then post back with links to see if anyone is free to advise. I know you may want me to suggest.. But it is better you do some window shopping around and paste the choices that catch your eye. Then I advise.. It is your laptop.. Not mine..

Not to add to the already heavy Acer doomsday wagon however i have had to repair Acer laptops in my time and they come to me with horrific problems like exploding graphics cards,Melted motherboards and Fried CPU's so i would reccommend going with a slightly less erm...Awful brand!
I personally use HP laptops but be careful of the pavilion range as about 15% of them have a manufacturing fault involving some more melting parts(Namely nvidia graphic cards) -------------------- May i remind you that i take no responsibility for any injuries/deaths that may occour from the above post.
I dont use hard drives,i just have 35 chinease teenagers in my basement and i force them to memorize numbers. Email me @ Ma email Add me on steam @ Alex4921 Add me on Xbox Live @ "Alex B Cant Die" Add me on MSN if you really want and don't have steam cause i never go on MSN and never check the emails on there @ Here Did a solution i posted worked? Did i managed to brick your computer? Well then post back and tell me so i know for next time ! |

You want to buy a laptop,then Configuration of the laptop will depend on your work.If you are a student then cheap configuration is sufficient.
Dual core processor has not fast speed but for student it's sufficient if there are small traffic or less data load. -------------------- |
