Hello everybody,

I'm need a laptop at school next year, so I'm going to buy on this month,
but there are some things bugging me, maybe you can help!

Right now I'm looking at

€1,109 - Acer Aspire 2012 - Centrino 1,5 / 15.4" / 60GB / 512MB / Dual-DVDRW / M-Radeon 9700 Pro 64Mb
€1,069 - Acer Aspire 1661 - Pentium 2,8 / 15.4" / 60GB / 512MB / Dual-DVDRW / M-Radeon 9700 Pro 64Mb
€1,035 - Acer Aspire 1511 - Athlon 64bit 3000+ / 15,0" / 60GB / 512 / Dual-DVDRW / nVidia 64MB Geforce FX Go5700

Since I'm both an Intel Pentium fan, and a ATI fan, I probably want either the 2012, or the 1661, but I am having
trouble deciding! First of all, does anyone know if a Centrino 1,5 outperforms a Pentium 2,8? How does the Centrino
chip work?

I've read that the battery of the 2012 lasts 5 hours, and the 1661 two hours, can anyone confirm that?
Please help me with this, I need the laptop for heavy applications, Visual Studio .NET (2003), Delphi 8, and Doom3 :P

Thanks in advance!
