what ghz is required for laptop
Best Answer: Well, clock speed is not the only factor in a processor's speed. Also look at the number of cores, FSB speed, and amount of L2 cache. I would aim above 2 GHz for a decent laptop. Go for Core 2 processors if you want Intel, Athlon and Phenom (if they are for laptops) if you want AMD. Larger numbers of cores are useful because they increase your processor's total speed for less cost.
