Looking at laptops for Uni. decided on the HP touchsmart tablet series (not gonna persuade me otherwise unless its another tablet laptop that performs better within a similar price ... and ive heard all the scare stories about the hp ones ).
was eyeing up the tx2-1340. noticed it had gone from £850 at christmas to £600 about two weeks ago. now its been replaced by the tm2-1010 at £800. The difference is the tx2 had a 2.3ghz turion dual and 780g, while the tm2 had some low voltage intel dual at 1.3ghz with a 4570 and a lot more battery life.
which one would be the better performer all round? i know the 4570 has twice the sp of the 780g, but surely the 2.3ghz turion is a better performer than the 1.3ghz intel. i really couldnt care less about battery life/power usage.
also, if the intel is miraculously a better performer, then does it perform £200 better?
edit: its a 4550, not a 4570, and apart from the differences above, the two are pretty much identical
