AMD or Intel

I'm trying to get a laptop for school and Im having trouble figuring out which is better.

 

AMD might be a bit cheaper, but Intel is still probably a better choice. If you need something that you can use in class all day, then a netbook with an Intel Atom processor might be a good choice.

 

I would go with intel, although I would avoid getting a netbook over a laptop.

 

whats the difference between those two

 

AMD or Intel, or a netbook and a laptop?

 

A netbook is just a mini-laptop...it does not have the performance, the big screen, the bluray/dvd drive, or any of that...but most of them have a battery life of 4 hours or more, and they are nice and small...and they cost a lot less (you can get them even cheaper and with built-in 3G internet from several wireless providors). If you are keeping your desktop, and just using the laptop for class, the netbook can be a very appealing option. Of course, if you are only going to have one computer, then you should probably avoid netbooks.

 

Laptops are like portable PCs. Netbooks are like larger versions of mobile phones.
