mobile Athlon 64 or Turion desktop replacement?

by JuliaArmstrong Oct 14, 2005 7:58AM PDT

I want to buy an AMD desktop replacement laptop, that I can use for video editing as well as general use (not games). Would I be better going for a Turion processor (eg MT37) or the Mobile Athlon 64 (eg 3400+)?

Also, would Radeon 200M graphics card be sufficient for my needs?

I'm thinking of the Evesham Quest A610 A34. Does anybody have any experience of this?

Many thanks

Maybe regular Athlon 64 like in the zv6000 or r4000. Radeon 200m graphics are pretty much mainstream for all amd based-notebooks. Acer Ferrari 4000 has a ATi x700, but costs >$2000.
