So i am in the market for my first laptop. The one i was looking at is this one:

Toshiba – Satellite Laptop with AMD Athlon™ X2 Dual-Core Processor
my question is if this other one:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9368169&type=product&id=1218092959299
Toshiba – Satellite Laptop with Intel® Celeron® Processor
is worth it. Its is about 100 dollar difference, but is it worth is to foot the bill? i can do the more expensive one, but i can do the cheaper one easier lol
Basically all i will be doing on it is web surfing, watching videos, stuff like that. maybe download some music, but not like 20,000+ song or anything crazy like that.
I may or may not put World or Warcraft on it, depending on if its powerful enough to even run it at all. if not, then ill just get some old NES emulators.

It really depends on how much the money means to you. You would be giving up that dual-core CPU for a Celeron, and an extra gig of memory, as well as extra memory in your video card. If you were to upgrade in the future I’m sure that that would cost more than a hundred bucks…. If you can spare the extra cash I believe you would notice the difference in performance.
