Hi,

Which of these would be better for editing pics and small amount of video (head cam stuff). Looking to spend around £450.

Compaq Presario CQ71-320sa 17.3" widescreen laptop

or
Acer 7540 17.3" widescreen Laptop

Everything seems the same except processors, the Compaq has Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor T4300 (2.1Ghz, 800Mhz, 1MB Cache) and the Acer has AMD Athlon II processor M300 (2.0Ghz, 1MB Cache). The acer is obviously cheaper.

Your advice is greatly appreciated:lease:
 
The Intel T4300 processor is the faster of the two and will run cooler and quieter so that would get my vote.

I second that, go for the Compaq if you have narrowed it down to these two
