    Intels architecture is better than AMDs thats why you will only find Intels in business machines.

    Wrong.

    Buy Intel if you want the absolute last drop of battery power or if you can't find the configuration you want with an AMD CPU. Buy AMD if you want 64-bit capability and/or want an ATI or nVidia shared-memory GPU instead of Intel's mediocre ones.

    The big problem with AMD right now is that the higher-grade Turion X2 CPUs are scarce at best. HP is reserving theirs for business-class notebooks like the one I linked to above. Hopefully that situation will get better over the next several weeks.

    From United Micro website, TL-56 is only $40+ more than TL-52. Really don't understand why HP hold higher end CPU in their business line.
