Well we have several notebooks in our family of 5 at the moment. First it all depends on what type of budget you are working with, which you did not mention. Laptops are pretty easy to get your hands on these days and for a pretty fair pirce as well. I have had several brands and most of them have been pretty good for the most part. HP's are very good and I have a Toshiba which I am writing on at the moment. This one is a Satelite L655 which carries a 4 hours battery, and Intel Dual core I3 CPU, with all the bells and whistles, which I purchased about a month ago. I paid $700 for it and I am very happy with its performance to date. If you are on a tight budget I would go online and look for a factory refurbished unit. They are like brand new at half the price, but very reliable. I also really like the customer service which HP provides. We have had Dell PCs as well and I just do not like all of the crap they put in the opporating systems and I think their customer service sucks.

Intel or AMD really does not make a difference so to speak, but AMD is merely a copy of Intels technology at a lower price. So once again it depends on your needs and your budget. Apple are good, but not for the price in my opinion. Good luck with your choice sir.
