dv6 1319tx vs dv6 2005ax

hi, Guys, Please advise me on which of these two is better.

The laptop would be used for Surfing, HD movies, Photoshopping, audio editing and occasional Gaming.

here are the links for the 2 laptops.

The hp dv6-1319tx is better... however , u might need to upgrade the processor later on so that u can use the full DDR3 Memory bandwidth..

 

Very close call. Pick whichever is cheaper.

 

what about ddr2 vs ddr3? the 1319tx is dr3 while the 2005ax is NOT.

and do amd proccys overheat?

 

DDR2 vs. DDR3 makes little difference at this point. DDR3 uses a little less power.

AMD's new 45nm Turion II processors are pretty close to C2D's in terms of heat and performance. The big problem is HP's weak cooling systems, which affect HP Intel notebooks too. If you're going to be gaming you'll want a cooling pad.

 

I wouldnt risk an AMD based notebook unless I had it in front of me and could verify it didnt put out as much heat as convection oven. My last AMD based notebook has soured me on buying another one sight unseen that thing was a fiery beast.

 

agreed ... that's another factor why i asked him to get the intel one and then upgrade the CPU...

 

I'm stuck right now with the same choice. The only difference is that laptop with AMD has 500 Gb 5400 hard drive and the one with C2D has 320 Gb 5400. The one with AMD is 100$ cheaper so i don't know what to pick. Does T6600 + ddr3 worth paying +100$?

 

If you're going for the cheaper 1,the AMD.
The Intel cpus can sometimes deliver slightly better battery life, the DDR3 ram is faster and is appearing in more and more notebooks now.

 

Well, DDR3 ram is faster on the specifications, actually any 800 Mhz DDR2 is faster or on par with DDR3 1066 Mhz modules.

Vendors tells you the frequency, but they don't tell you the access timings. DDR3 timings are much worse than DDR2 timings.

On the contrary DDR3 modules have lower voltage requirements, so they consume less power, but actually this is not so much current.

About the products, the dv6-2005 has a newer Turion II processor, built with 45nm productive process, exactly the same of the T6600 processor and both have the same 35W TDP, but probably (I'm not sure) the T6600 has no hardware virtualization support, eg. no XP Mode in Windows 7.

I'm with the cheaper dv6-2005 notebook

hey guys,bought dis stylish performance oriented machine a week back for rs.46,999 from croma.
It has fast response with the AMD and powerful graphics card.Has got great entertainment features onboard and speakers are real good.It has got a full keyboard with numeic keypad.The large HD screen gives great viewing,however when used indoors.
The screen is HD Flush screen, not recommended for outdoor use as reflects a lot, almost a mirror. The notebook gets heated because of the AMD config and heavy graphic card(cooling pad recommended).Has touch sensitive volume,bluetooth and Wlan controls.Has the Mouse Lock feature along with finger print reader.The battery back-up is decent.i got it with ten additional accessories from croma.The mouse pad is a bit sluggish because of the steel finish.There is a remote for managing presentations.It comes with a 1-yr warranty from HP and option of extending it at a price.The OS is 32bit but can be upgraded to 64bit anytime from HP site at no cost.Also includes a nice HP Executive carry bag.
Overall, its a notebook with style,entertainment and performance under its hood.Its just a little big in size considering it has 15.6" screen and is on the slightly heavier side based on the configuration
