On this topic, I'm eyeing two of the laptops available, the Compaq with the AMD V-120, and the HP with the Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4500. At $50 more (and just $300 in total), I'm thinking it's worth it going the step up and getting the HP. Can anyone provide any input? What are the differences in CPU performance one could expect from those two chips?
