Laptop for Uni!

Toshiba and Samsung are not the same company according to my rapid look at wikipedia. I see lots of names flying out here but no links to laptops! Any reliable review sites you know would be great.

Also, what do the processors equate to in terms of desktop CPUs? Is a laptop dual core 8400 the same as a desktop 8400?

Well I know that samsung hard disks are manufactured my toshiba and have seen a few samsung stickers inside my toshiba laptop.

A T8400 will have teh same clock speed as the desktop model but a lower FSB and cache.

So basically, no the desktop version is better, but facter in EVERY laptop uses laptop parts, so chances are your going to get 1 with the same bus/cache anwyay.
