I am looking to buy a laptop and have zeroed in on these two:

http://is.gd/5yMms : HP Pavilion dv6-2005ax

http://is.gd/5yMn4 : HP Pavilion dv6-1308TX

They have everything in common except the processor.

2005ax has AMD Turion™ II M500 2.20GHz 1MB L2 cache

1308tx has ntel® Core™2 Duo T6600 2.20 GHz, 2 MB L2 Cache, 800 MHz FSB

and the difference in their prices, here in India is Rs. 5000 i.e roughly $100.

I have never used an AMD powered PC. Are their any software or hardware compatibility issues with AMDs? Any reason why I should go with the Intel box?
