It's not a CPU made for lappies. Therefore, you are gonna have horrible battery life.

And to answer the original thread, the 4200 is better than 9000 if I remember correctly. I'll try to find the article on Anandtech.

But who cares about 4200 and 9000 when you can get 9600 for cheap now.

And I know a friend who has a 5200... it doesn't do well.
Actually the cheapest laptop that I can get with a 9600 is the MX505 from gateway and after shipping/tax it's $1924.35, which needless to say slightly out of my price range and the monitor is WXGA so max resolution of like 1024x768 or something really low which I don't like.
