Choice between 2 laptops - - help, please?
Looking for laptops right now to get a senior thru last year H.S. and a 9th grader thru a few years. Not looking for a super-powerful or gaming laptop - - just one that will allow them to do the usual school-related stuff, as we'll then buy an appropriate new technology laptop next year for older son that meets specs for whatever college's architecture program he enters. So until then, looking between 2 Compaq Presario laptops: a CQ60-418DX with AMD Athlon X2 QL-62 dual-core processor, for $380 or a CQ60-420US with a Pentium T4200 Dual-Core processor for $350. Can anyone comment on which would be better/cooler/faster/more reliable? Thanks!
