Processor
Intel vs. AMD?
A lot of debate about the second company. But actually the second company this is the best processor in the world and race each other to develop the type of processor best. Currently Intel processors for notebook, have better technology to save battery. But most users will not encounter any difficulty prosesornya brand. Because there was no difference in performance between the two light. Notebooks with AMD processors are usually much cheaper price.

Intel Mobile Processor technology, latest
• Pentium M (Dothan) - Used in noteboook manufactured around 2004. This technology is made specifically for use in notebook and power needs to operate with a smaller and more cold than the preceding.
• Celeron M (Dothan and Yonah) - single-core processor (one core) is cheap, according to the most basic applications, such as office and graphics. But not able to support applications that are heavy.
• Core Solo (Yonah) - Processors cheap structure made from the Core Duo, but only has 1 CPU core active. Core Solo replaces the Pentium M in 2006.
• Core Duo (Yonah) - dual-core technology (two core) of Intel. Core Duo (32-bit) to create 2 on 1 CPU without increasing the processor power consumption.
• Core 2 Duo (Merom) - 64-bit version of the Core Duo, performance slightly better than Core Duo and can run Windows Vista and 64-bit applications other.

AMD's latest mobile processors
• Sempron - Processor 1 core low in the old notebook. As a replacement of the Athlon. The latest version supports 64-bit applications.
• Turion 64 - Processor 1 core, 64-bit with a power consumption that is lower than the Sempron
• Turion 64 x2 - Dual Core version, from the 64-bit Turion

GPU

This debate is a topic that is also popular. They both produce a good graphics card. Nvidia better in OpenGL technology and support Linux. Meanwhile, ATI has better ability in the game, anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. There are no differences between them be.

Most important you know how big the program needs to use your graphics card. If you use a 3D application or game that weight, you will need a VGA with a dedicated high performance. If not, VGA Intel GMA 900/950 that is more than enough

RAM
Of all the components in the notebook, the amount of RAM installed will have the most obvious effect. The large RAM, faster applications will run. Currently, the minimum is 512MB, and is recommended you have a 1GB, especially if you're running Windows Vista. If you run multiple applications simultaneously (multitasking), you need to consider to upgrade to 2GB.
There is no different between 533MHz and 667MHz.
RAM is also one of the most prominent component in the upgrade, you can even do it yourself.

Hard Drive
How much storage capacity you need? Do you plan to store lots of files, music, video or photos? If so, you need Harddisk capacity is greater. But if you have limited funds, buy external hard drive will be cheaper and can be an option.
