I have several computers both Intel and AMD setups. I do however run my studio on my AMD with out any problems. You are looking at laptops, make sure that they are the mobile processors, and really hunt for a laptop that has a sperate memory (not shared) for the video card. I have found this to be a bigger problem than what processor is driving. No matter if you go with a AMD or an Intel do you need to worry about heat, as most laptop manufactures have taken the heat load into concideration and have sized the cooling accordingly. Video Card, Memory and Hard Drive speeds are much more important than what the processor is, as both are great processors.
