You can be sure the makers of laptops won't use an inappropriate
processor, so don't worry about the AMD/Intel conflict.

Subject: [PCBUILD] New Laptop

I don't know if this is an appropriate question for this forum but here
is 
my question:
I am wanting to buy a new laptop. Our old one is 10 years old and is
quite 
slow. In speaking with various IT techs at the store I get conflicting 
information on which is a better laptop. Each laptop seems to have pros
and 
cons and I'm just trying to avoid the ones with the most cons. Is Intel
or 
AMD better? (I was told AMD but then someone else said the laptops get
too 
hot - they're only better for desktops) Toshiba, Asus, HP, Dell??? I'd 
like to keep the cost between 3 & $400.00. Any help would be
appreciated.
Monica
