Re: Can any one advise me on which laptop i should get?

Intel's Architecture and manufacturing processes are both more advanced than AMD's in their better chips (Core 2 Duo).

Intel CPUs and AMD CPUs are EXACTLY the same in terms of virus. There is NO diference, this is not a function of the CPU.

I see where your comming from in saying that xp is better than vista
but the Service pack 1 is coming out soon for vista which i imaging
would improve Vista's performance, also software manufacorers are now
beguinning to build their software to the Vista archutector so
wouldn't choosing Vista make me future proof?
