celeron sucks! i would most likely go for the amd as they provide great value for money, but then again i know nothing about laptops...
Don't get a celeron,If you get either a P4 or an AMD you'll be getting a pretty good laptop.The biggest difference between the two is cost.
alright thanks. my desktop has a celeron and my pc sucks. thats y im getting a new computer.
i was gonna get an amd athlon 2500+ anyway i just was wondering if that was a bad idea. and cost is a big factor because my dad isnt gonna spend $2000 on a comp when i got one 3 years ago and amd is the cheapest processor out there for a good price:D
...and since Intel chips cost a lot more than AMD for the same level of performance, get one with the fastest Athlon chip you can afford.Quote:

the fastest at best buy or hp.com is 2500+
if it were a desktop i could get much faster
i may try to get some one to build my notebook and buy parts from a computer store ya know
dont try to build a notebook or a desktop for that matter if you dont know what your doing!
I dont ever see AMDs in laptops. I wouldnt get a laptop. Get a desktop and dont build it yourself cuz you dont know what your doing. www.dell.com thats the place for you
