I haven't really seen too many AMD's in laptops, probably because of cooling issues within the laptops. I would advise just stick with an Intel, they're not all that bad!
I've posted about laptops a couple times already in posts that should be near this one, but I'll post stuff again.
Voodoo laptops are very nice and powerful (www.voodoo.ca). Consequently, they'll set you back a pretty penny (2500USD probably at cheapest). It costs money for laptops to look that great. I ordered mine from a Sager (www.sagernotebooks.com) Reseller --> http://pctorque.com and I haven't had any problems. Keep in mind any notebook from any company are prone to problems -- dead pixels, faulty hardware, etc. And sometimes service is stellar and sometimes it isn't, it could depend on the person you ask. I can't really think of any other not Top laptop companies other than the two I've mentioned, with the exception of Alienware, but I think I'd chose a Voodoo over Alienware if I'm going to spend that much money.
well im limited on $$$, lik 1400 at the most but that could change
HP/Compaq are pretty much the only of the big companies that use AMD CPUs in some of their setups, (although to be honest I havnt seen an Intel HP Computer lately)Quote:

Anyway, they have notebooks with AMD XP processors, and MP processors in them.

AH I haven't really looked at HPs/Compaqs since the ones I've seen have always had a problem one way or another. I know AMD has coming/is coming out very soon their 64Bit laptop processor. But that would probably go over the 1400 budget :D
thta is my estimated budget, and im a n00b so what is a 64 bit?
I won't try to explain 64bit because I don't know the right explanation, so rather than opening my mouth I won't say a thing about it other than it will be over the 1400 dollars limit by probably more than you want to spend.
good enough for me. im assuming that the 64bit is better than their previous processors though
