The players are lining up for the "Back To School" notebook season. In previous years, August was the most popular month to buy a computer. Notebooks dominated desktops last year, and all signs point to a repeat.
Select HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario consumer notebook PCs will, for the first time, include the option of AMD Turion 64 mobile technology. AMD's latest mobile processor technology delivers 32-bit performance today and can run tomorrow's 64-bit applications, in addition to offering enhanced virus protection.
It's nice to see some competition to Intel's Centrino (Pentium M) processor which has been rather overpriced for some time!
So far, AMD's Turion chip is appearing in the "value line." You can see the details here.
Take advantage of AMD's hot mobile technology
The new AMD Turion 64 processors with PowerNow! Technology are optimized for mobility and computing performance. The innovative PowerNow! technology, available with all AMD mobile processor-based notebooks, can effectively increase battery life while delivering performance on demand. Under normal operating conditions, the processor gives off less heat, for a cooler and quieter notebook. In addition, you get enhanced virus protection to guard against the spread of certain malicious PC viruses.
For basic computing, opt for the Mobile AMD Sempron processor; for more demanding tasks, choose an AMD Turion 64 which can handle even the most demanding applications.
It's available with the AMD Turion ML-34 which runs at 1.8 GHz, or some slower Semprons.
