All the major players are manufacturing the Core Duos. If you're working a lot with video and sound, then the timing for Dual Core is perfect! It seems I bought mine just a few months too soon.
Check Futureshop's web site. They have a few Duals coming in about two weeks.

none of those are gaming laptops so that won't be an issue lol.

Since you are only doing basic computing, get the cheapest one. You don't need a gig of ram to browse or play dvd's. I am also a big fan of Acer laptops..they have had great reliablity since we started reselling them.

I would definately reccomend the Acer with the Core Duo processor. The Core Duo processor excels in multi tasking and encoding. Take a look at some of the benchmarks (being compared against some of AMD's dual core desktop offerings) yourself. Even if it costs a bit more, the Core Duo processor definately has the price/performance ratio worth going with.

I don't know if you are being insulting or just have poor english, but the computer shop I work at is indeed an Authorized Acer Reseller.

ahh probably the reason is my bad english.i didnt mean to insult u. the thing that i mean is about;ok u sell it.and i know that acers are good because i try to buy one of them to my brother . all i just want to add that.RAM is the matter of all time. The more amount of ram u got,the fast and easy way u use ur computer Thanx..and sorry if i made a misunderstanding
