    Between these 2 choices which one is better ( they both run at 2.0 ghz)

    Enhanced Intel® Centrino® processor technology with interrelated Intel® Core™2 Duo mobile processor T5750

    or

    AMD Turion™ X2 mobile processor TL-60* for true multicore processing

    The 2 laptops I am picking between are the same except for the processor difference. Thanks ahead of time.

    The Intel is faster, less heat better on battery life. The AMD is going to have the ability to run faster RAM. And the HT (replaced FSB) runs at 1600Mhz vs 667Mhz for Intel. That said I would lean toward Intel also.

    Even as an AMD fan my self id go for the intel. Also nice choice on your laptop i thought about getting one but no finger print reader and to much hassle to sell mine but i love that color much more then mine.
