Hey was wondering if someone could help me out deciding which is the better laptop for multitasking, browser games, general use etc. The reason is my parents just got a Grant from the government to buy a Laptop for my little brother under the http://www.homeaccess.org.uk Scheme(UK).

The payment method can only be used on these websites and there's a limit of 3/4 Laptops to choose from.

What I have chosen to compare....

Toshiba L450D:
http://www.homeaccessgrant.com/index.php?option=com_ixxocart&Itemid=55&p=product&id=8&parent=5&vid=0 (Only one I've seen with 2Gb RAM as standard)

CPU: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Mobile%20Sempron%20SI-42%20-%20SMSI42SAM12GG.html

Or

Samsung R519:

CPU: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Celeron_Dual-Core/Intel-Mobile%20Celeron%20Dual-Core%20T3100%20AV80577NG0371M.html

Assuming the Samsung R519 is still in stock & i can upgrade the RAM to 2/3Gb when i call them.

But as standard without any upgrades AND "IF" the upgrades are available to me, which would you personally prefer for the job?

Option 1: "AMD Sempron Single Core 512kb L2 Cache + 2GB DDR2 RAM Toshiba" (POSSIBILITY* Upgraded to 3Gb RAM)

Option 2: "Intel Celeron Dual Core 1Mb L2 Cache + 1GB DDR2 800 RAM Samsung" (POSSIBILITY* Upgraded to 2Gb RAM)


I eagerly await your response.


Thanks in advance Smile

Go for the samsung if you can upgrade ram to 2Go.
Sempron SI-42 is not a good cpu.
