What would you be using your laptop for? Work, play?

[CAUTION5697]

its for college, so its going to be for school work, but also for play, still need a powerful pc for some of the stuff i plan on doing

[Chill-Gamer]

well, if i were you i would choose:
HP Pavilion dv9500t

i have a hp pavilion dv9313ea, and im VERY statisfied with it..
+ HP Pavilion dv9500t has a better gfx card, anyway, it's still your choice, but i think the HP Pavilion dv9500t
is better for what you want to do with it.. and im a student myself, and i can play pretty good with this gfx card.

anyway, good luck with choosing ( sorry for my english, but im dutch )

[jackflash1991]

Yep the HP Pavilion dv9500t is the best one out of the 3.

[CAUTION5697]

thanks for everything, but ive got one more question, how much better is the intel core 2 duo processor over the amd turion

[jaxisland]

From what I have read they are both good but the IC2D just has more raw speed and power than the amd.

[Chill-Gamer]

well, what i heard from friends that AMD is better for gaming, and Intel better, for just normal windows things etc.. so i would choose intel, cause intel isn't bad at all for gaming

[Troy]

Used to be the case, but Intel currently is better with its Core 2 Duo architecture.
