There are some hardware issues about the HP Pavilion (not all HP pavilion series though). My father in-law sent us one from the states (AMD X2 Turion processor). After 4 months of use, the wireless connection became erratic. When we search the Internet about the problem, HP admitted the problem about the need to update the BIOS so they need to recall those units.
So we sent back the unit back to the states through UPS.

But there are a lot of Laptop makers who have already decided to use AMD instead of Intel (HP i think is one of them).

It's difficult to choose between the two. I currently have a Neo Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 - mabilis kumain ng battery power compared to the AMD-powered HP pavilion.

The processor is a major factor in terms of performance But you also need to consider memory size (RAM), video memory, Hard disk capacity, etc. Of course, the bigger video and RAM, the better would be the performance.

woah.. how about HP Pavilion DV6700T (or z if i prefer AMD)? may mga reported problems ba nun? pero in terms of performance, mas ok ang AMD? may nabasa akong post eh na gamers prefer AMD than intel.. anong year po nangyari yun? na ayos na naman siguro ng HP yan diba? hopefully..

ram will be (i prefer) 2gb, hd is 120gb (none lower though), graphics card is Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 - For Core 2 Duo Processors (and that's stock), intel processor is core 2 duoi T9300 (2.5ghz) while the AMD is turion 64 x2 dual core mobile technology gold edition TL-68 (2.4ghz)

mas ok po amd o intel? ok ah kung mas mahina sa battery ang AMD..

With almost both Intel and AMD-based laptops having the same specs (2gig RAM, 120 gig HDD, etc), I would get the AMD-based laptop.

Btw, yung HP pavilion namin na nirecall is HP 2313CL. So I think yung series na namention mo eh hindi na kasama dun...

an amd processor eats more power than intel processors so for laptops intel processor is the better one. amd is more of for gamers. intel is for multimedia and all around.

get the centino processor it saves a lot of energy

hanren: buti naman..

sboogie: ah.. ganun pala. pero ok din po ang intel pag lagyan ng games? eh yung centrino? ok din daw yun pang games.. true? ako kasi games and all around use. ano po ang key features ng centrino sa ibang procesors? processor ba ang centrino? kasi may nakita akong lappy na may sticker na intel core 2 duo at centrino sa taas.. ano yun?
