Hi
I have been tasked with getting my Sister-in-Law a new laptop.
My shortlist is an Sony Vaio PCG-K315S or Z or a Toshiba Satellite M30-106. All three of these are around the £1000 mark. (3.0 GHz, 512 RAM and 40 or 60 GB HD)
Whilst looking in John Lewis today they had a repaired HP Pavilion ZT3000 with a Centrino 1.5MHz chip, 512 Ram & 60Gb HD for £699. With one years warranty, upgradeable to 3 yrs for £99 or 5 yrs for £169. Its slim and light weight and is also widescreen.
Here is my question.... whats the diff between the Centrino and the Mobile chip? Why are the mobiles twice as many GHz as the Centrino's, ie. 3.0 v's 1.5 in this case. I hope this makes sense.
Regards
Tan
