Mmoy, There is no Pentium D notebook that I know of. The only dual core notebooks available are based on X2:
-Rockdirect: http://www.rockdirect.co.uk/consumer_notebooks.htm
-Voodoo: http://www.voodoopc.com/system/quotekitchen.aspx?productID=1083#
-MTECH: http://www.m-techlaptops.com/amd_dual_core_laptop.htm (November)
They're obviously all very expensive.

If he really needs a dual core 64b laptop based on a mobile processor he'll have to wait till around Q1 06 for DTR X2's, or till H2 06 for either Merom or DC Turion (Merom probably being earlier than DC Turion).

If he doesn't really need 64b then I guess Yonah will offer him by far the most choice.

If he doesn't really need dual core, but does need 64b I'd ask him if how important he thinks screen resolution is versus quality, as from my experience with a TFT screens contrast is quite important (bright screens are significantly nicer to look at as colors are much more vibrant). If he really does need such a high resolution chances that he'll find a Turion laptop are rather slim.

Just tried to think along with you without helping that much... FWIW,

Regards,

Rink
