    My Laptop is hardly anything to be excited about and I am currently saving up for a new, better one, but here goes:

    HP pavilion zv5000
    AMD Athlon Xp Processor
    3000+
    798 MHz, 512 RAM
    60 GB

    My computer is 2/3 years old and barely adequate for what I want it to do.

    Intel Pentium 4 Processor 515
    512MB RAM
    160GB Hard Drive
    ATI Radeon X300SE


    That's what it says on the box anyway.

    In a laptop 2 GHz could either be bad or good, depending on the type of processor. If it's a pentium 4, it's bad, if it's a Pentium M, or a Pentium Core Duo, it's good.

    I think you should make your own desktop instead...its cheaper for the same specs and performance...Also I my friend has a customizable laptop so It's now possible to make your own laptop I'm assuming since Iv'e seen so many customizable laptops...the bad thing is it has like a 2inch box under it where all the customization goes own so it weighs more and can break easily if dropped

    Actually their clock speed is faster, the chips themselves are still lagging behind AMD in overall speed as Intel chips bottleneck so you don't even use most of the 3+ GHz they have.

    You know a 750W Power Supply is pritty much redundant in almost all but the most over powered or hard drive filled machines so it's needless costing you and the environment when a 500W would probably suffice you. Larger numbers don't always mean better.
