Hi everyone

I'm looking to get a cheap laptop. I need it in the next few days. I'm looking at under $500 CAD. And I don't want to order online.

I found these two.

Which one is better??

Thank you!

Specifically I'm looking at the two processors....

Also the video card.
I know they both suck. I don't intend on doing anything big. Maybe a little starcraft or CS 1.6....
 
The celeron 585 is a core 1 based CPU. Clock for clock they were about as fast as an a64. I suspect the intel machine will be significantly faster than the amd. that said, I've used a desktop with that amd chip in in, and it ran vista perfectly fine for web use (never tried anything heavier).
