which laptop from these four is the best for Linux

hi,
I've researched the market and I am ready to buy a notebook in a few days. Now, I have to choose between 4 models (2 turion64 and 2 centrino).
What do you thing? What would you recommend?
Let’s suppose the price is the same, the height is not so important, power consume is important (but not extremely important) and that I have no interest in running games. Running Linux under very good condition is the most important thing.


1) Acer Aspire 5003WLMi - AMD Turion64 1.8GHz, 512 cache (L2), HDD 80 G, RAM 512, SiSM760GX, 15.4''

2) HP Pavilion dv5115nr - turion64 1.8 Ghz, 512 cache (L2), HDD 80 GB, 512 RAM, ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M IGP (dedicated), 15.4''

3) Compaq Presario - V4435NR, Centrino 1.7 GHz, hdd 80 GB, 512 RAM, 400Mhz Bus, 2M Cache(L2),Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900, 15.4''


4) Acer Aspire 1640 - Centrino 1.7 Ghz, HDD 80 GB, 512 RAM, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, 15.4''



Thanks you for your advices

This computer, having a Centrino and not a Centrino Duo, also comes with the older Intel graphics, the GMA900.

Are you sure you don't want to consider any Centrino Duo models?

 

Since none of the laptops you posted are Duo core, the Turion64 is more desirable cpu for linux. You can run 64bit linux or even 32bit or even BOTH!!!

Also the ATI video card is better than the rest. IT will allow you to have certain 3D acceleration in linux.
