Laptop: Power
built 605 days ago
There is a wide range of laptop specific processors available from Intel (Pentium M, Celeron, Intel Core and Intel Core 2) and from AMD (Athlon, Turion 64, and Sempron) and ... from VIA (C3 and C7-M). Motorola and IBM developed and manufactured the chips for the former PowerPC-based Apple laptops (iBook and PowerBook). Generally, laptop processors are less powerful than their desktop counterparts, due to the need to save energy and reduce heat dissipation. However, the PowerPC G3 and G4 processor generations were able to offer almost the same performance as their desktop versions, limited mostly by other factors, such as the system bus bandwidth; recently, though, with the introduction of the G5s, they have been far outstripped. At one point, the Pismo G3, at up to 500 MHz, was faster than the fastest desktop G3 (then the B&W G3), which ran at 450 MHz.

One thing to consider is where the laptop is going. If the laptop is going to be criss-crossing the county by plane, train and automobile, an ultraportable, or a thin-and-light, a slightly heavier, though more powerful machine, might be ideal. On the other hand, if the laptop is going to be headed to a dorm room and not moved from September until May, portability can be sacrificed for more power and a larger screen.
