Why are processors in laptops less in speed than in PC's? Im a bit daft like, but why pay £600+ on a laptop and get a 1.66Ghz processor, when you can get a pc with 3.06Ghz for around £400?
RE: In theory yes, So there arent any laptops with faster processors at the moment? Thanks, this is making sense though now. Is 1.66Ghz sufficient though for modern use?
RE: In theory yes, You can get laptops that are much faster than 1.6ghz. I've had mine for well over a year and mine is faster than 1.6ghz
Because... The laptops run at a lower frequency for heat reasons. To compensate they have a larger L2 cache which improves performance. This means that a 1.7ghz Pentium M (centrino) outperforms a Pentium Mobile 2.6ghz machine.</p> Other things that determine how fast your machine/laptop performs includes the speed of the FSB (front side bus - essentially the how fast your memory runs) and disk speed.</p>
Actually mate I meant to ask you saturday My laptop is running out of disk space. I've got about 15gig worth of Itunes music files stored on there but I don't use the ipod. I don't wanna delete all the music files tho because I might get sick of sony mp3 players and go back to the ipod at some point.</p> Do you know any cheap ways of storing those files externally?</p>
cds, dvds, usb flash drives are good too. Had my laptop a year and half, its a 2.7ghz processor. just need a new harddrive in it and i aint a clue how to get to the bugger
Stick em on a couple of 8gb DVDs? Bring your laptop round sometime after work and I'll stick em on a couple of DVDs for you. ( And i can nick em and add them to my collection )</p> Or get one of those external USB hard drives http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/External-Storage-hard-drive-200-GB-2-0-USB-PC-Yakumo_W0QQitemZ8800043276QQcategoryZ16178QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</p>
try carrying one round with you ****.if you want me to name 10 advantages of bbuying a laptop instead of a desktop i will do!
