Intel v AMD - Laptops

[Paul87]

Hello

Probs being asked many times, but im going to be purchasing a laptop soon for university, i want something that has over 60gb HDD, 1gb RAM, DVDRW, Wireless and a nice processor.

But I have always had AMD processors in my desktop due to me seeing bad things about intels, but im unsure now.

Can anyone tell me what processor is the better Intel or AMD?

Cheers

PS: Some laptop ideas could also be useful.

Unless you are planning on playing 3d games it shouldn't make the slightest difference whether you get a Amd or Intell - for games AMD is slightly better.

Both are fine.

AMDs are usually cheaper, making the laptop cheaper.

PC Pro magazine 3 choices for value notebook are:

Lenovo (was IBM) 3000 N100 TY06UUK. This has a widescreen TFT, 80Gb drive, 512Mb memory, DVD R/W, Intel Core Duo T2300E (556 pounds)

Sony VAIO VGN-FE31H with core 2 duo power, large hard disk and 15.4 inch screen (800 pounds)

Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 at 430 pounds. They say it is not the most powerful but at this price it is a bargain.
