Hi,
I am considering buying a Laptop/Notebook for the first time. To me, what
unique in choosing a Laptop/Notebook than a desktop are, CPU temperature
and power consumption, battery life, hibernation support, weight, etc.
Coincidentally, there was a heat debate on CPU power consumption and
battery life at xtremesystems:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=231413
My conclusion from it is that AMD did an awful job in mobile CPU branch.
I love AMD, all my desktops are AMD based, but from the above thread,
it seems that choosing AMD based Laptops might not be a good idea.
However, despite how well Intel is doing in preserving power consumption
and battery life, I found most of Intel mobile CPUs don't support
virtualization, even in their latest Core2Duo chips. Is it true?
Some do, some don't. Check Intel's web site to be sure:
http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2duo/mobile/specifications.htm
http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2solo/specifications.htm
In the current gen of cpu's, Intel has AMD beat in total
performance and performance per watt. AMD's only real
advantage is lower cost for budget builds.
Cheers,
Kelly Clowers
