Thanks, picking one up. I upgraded the CPU to a 1.9ghz Turion.

Boy, this would rock with a 10% stackable or something..... Everyone already done the research?

Not bad, they did downgrade the HD 120 > 80 from the last one I got at that price

I haven't been keeping track of what's going on in mobile processors (last laptop I owned for personal use was a Dell M140) - how would this CPU fare vs. an Intel equivalent in terms of battery life, heat, etc? Also, is there a huge difference between the Dual-Core Mobile and non-Mobile versions?

bump for a hot deal.

I think that in battery life, the turions are superior to a mobile athlon. A turion TL is better than a TK, I think. The performance is a bit better than a Core Duo, but worse than a Core 2 Duo.
