SPEED OF LAPTOPS
When we spoke about laptops, retail versus professional (computing), we did not mention the fact that when you look at a laptop to purchase, you should keep in mind that the lower-priced laptops have slower processors. Even with a less expensive laptop, you may even be getting a PENTIUM chip, not even a Core chip!
Our advice is this; look at the price. Look at the chipset. If you see a Core 2 Duo Centrino, check the speed of the Core 2 Duo.
Many laptops are sold with slow speeds. I personally have a Toshiba and wanted to remain conservative on price without skimping on quality or the fact that it is a professional PC. It is a fairly new model, and I suggest it to my clients. Mine has a T6670 processor. That's ok! It's fast enough. Now, Toshiba makes one that is approximately P8400 and inexpensive (under $1000.00) but it is so heavy, it really could be used as a desktop replacement. We have sold them but, again, they are so heavy.
High end laptops have P8400 and P9400 speed processors. These are great, and you barely need to hit the key and the computer knows what you are typing!

Warranties
Many laptops come with only one year warranties. What drives the price of the computer up is the length of the warranty. You may want to look carefully and choose the best warranty for you. Sometime manufacturers offer 3 years as a promotion. I would say it is almost worth the price in purchasing the extra warranty!
