Hi

I'm thinking on getting a laptop soon, but i don't exactly know what processor i should get with it. I'd be using the laptop mostly for computer programming and music recording (rendering).

Can anyone help me out maybe? I'd be much appreciative.

Thanks,

-Mr_Smiley

The intel q6600 is really the best deal for almost any scenario.

I would suggest a Penryn 45nm Core2Duo such as T9x00(currently maybe not available?) or T8x00.

Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 is best ratio price/performance of the moment
