AMD Sempron 3000+ / 1.8 GHz processor

Advantages very good, low price processor, overclockable
Disadvantages none as yet

...when i bought a sempron 3000+ i didnt imagine it would be as good as it really is, the motherboards that support the sempron's also support quicker dual cores so when the time comes to upgrading again i will be able to buy a dual core with no extra fuss. i have set up a whole system from scratch and this processor peformed brilliantly, i recomend this processor for all those who want a good low cost solution to upgrading, NB the overclocking potential is about 1.5 times base. which is awesome and the ram speeds of the motherboards that support this processor are blistering. would recommend something like an ASUS A8V-VM to use with this product as its also a nice peice of engineering...

Advantages Very easy to use, great value + DVD/RW drive
Disadvantages Poor battery life

...I got this laptop about a year ago for my birthday and the first thing that struck me was it's fantastic style. It has a massive 15.4" widescreen which I have found displays DVD's in amazing quality, even better than my TV. It has a sleek, professional look and is ideal as a home computer. The next thing that shocked me was it's power to price ratio. For a sub-£450 laptop, a lot of features are packed in. It has a powerful AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, running at an impressive 1.8Ghz (extremely fast for a laptop). It also has 512MB of RAM. This easily makes it the best specced laptop for the price. It also has a decent sized 60GB Hard Drive and built in wireless so you can surf the internet wirelessly out of the box. Another great thing about the laptop is the free software that comes with it. You get Norton Antivirus (probably... Read review
