if you are buying a laptop there is a lot less choice and configarability than with a desktop or tower as you can only choose what the manufactures are offering.
when new processors are out and the tech mags test new systems, you can have the same proc in 2 different system boards with same amount of ram and they will give different scores.
the old measurer was gamers AMD business Intel but i am not sure its as clear cut as that any more.
the 4 laptops i have used 2 personal (Dell Sony) and 2 from work (IBM Dell) have all been Intel however i suspect if i was buying a new laptop tomorrow i would choose via
1 decide exactly my top limit of what i was going to spend
2 whittle the choice down to just 3 if you can
3a write down the must have items
3b write down options that would be nice
if you cant decide then post back with links to the 3 there is always a number of people who will give you an opinion of your choices.
