AMD perform noticably better in 64-bit mode. Can't find links to some numbers to prove it, though :) But in your case, Intel variant seems to be a bit better: less weight, faster graphics, gigabit ethernet, +802.11a (not sure it is that useful). Strange, that both lack DVI output... I intend to buy a new laptop too, but decided to go with hp nx6325 (AMD X2 TL-60, ATI 1150), because it has both ExpressCard (for future) and PCMCIA (for my RME) and is more likely to have open source 3d video drivers.
