Dont tell me you're considering buying the laptop just for the chip! If you have sources in the US, you could get it separately, else unfortunately in India buyin the laptop may be your only choice

Also the Turion chips shouldnt really be considered, they arent like other Mobile Athlon chips. AMD themselves have mentioned that the Turions are specifically low power chips and use "low-power transistors" in the chip which dont tend to overclock much, so you wont see any great overclocks with it.
The Newarks are the only decent Mobile chips around - they're based off the San Diego core. I think there are lower end models equivalent to the Winchester cores and NOT turions, dont quite reember.
