Thanks in advance

For laptops, I'd recommend a Centrino based machine. It's the latest rage going on.

Where can i get more information on centrino and other processors ??

I guess it depends what you are going to be using the computer for... Intels are "all the rage" :P but if you want to use the laptop for gaming (sheesh, if you can affford it!) AMD will probably be better.. Again it just depends what you wanna use it for. Me, i'd use AMD but i'm pathetic and biased like that ;) Been using AMD's all the time, it would be wrong to use an intel :P

To be clear, Im an AMD lover too, but many ppl still want to go by "Intel Inside"

Buy AMD. Intel is just a brand and over pricing. That way they come out with celeron.Not much different but the price huge different.

U are very much right. Even I wanna go for AMD processor for my laptop, but some one told me that Amd heats up very fast and is not suitable for laptops.
Any comments??

laptops i would go hands down the the pentium m...my laptop never even gets warm...

Re: Intel vs AMD
 

just an fyi to make things clear...centrino is not a processor...it a package deal. A laptop is called "centrino" when it has a pentium m processor and the intel wireless card. You can still have a pentium m computer without the intel wireless card and pay less...but you wont have the "cool" centrino sticker. Just go with a pentium m in a laptop and you will be more than happy. I know i am :)

Yes. AMD might be generate more heat and maybe not. Just some miss conception due to previous AMD CPU. But is not a problem.If you use the laptop in an aircon room. There is no different and will not overheat.Very seldom heard that CPU damage in a laptop because normally CPU will not mulfunction unless someone overclock it more than 20% of the speed. Since normally laptop don't have overclocking function, so no problem at all.
I'm also using laptop with AMD chip for 6 month not problem at all and desktop more than 2 year without additional fan. Just remember never overclocking. There have hundreds enginneer working on the chip, so will not fail.
