Q: I want to buy a laptop. Which processor should I pick? The AMD or the Intel?
A: Though some have reported that the Core 2 Duo chip performs faster and uses less power than an equivalent AMD processor, you will need to consider the graphics card as well. AMD laptops have the lead in terms of pricing. Hence, in the end, it may make more sense to select a Turion-based system with a discrete graphics card that costs as much as a Core 2 Duo portable with an integrated video chipset. Link.
