There's even lapies with the x2 4800 out already... wow!

Alright then, I'll just do a little search around for AMD laptops and see what I get pricewise in specific, want to compare to the Intel ones.

Thanks for the info John!
Centrino is actually the Intel marketing name for the combination of a Pentium M, an Intel mobile chipset, and an Intel Pro/Wireless card. To say the least, the rest of the system is mostly up to the maker so you'll get vastly varying performance, although they're all based off the P-M.

Laptops with the X2 4800 aren't exactly what I would consider laptops. More like portable desktops. Try using one for any more than 45 mins - 1 hour on battery... heh

I agree with John here. The Aspire 50xx series with the X700s are very nice. My only gripe with them is that the X700 is held back by the fact that the screen is WXGA, which means at max a resolution of 1280x800. Kind of lower than what I like. On the other hand, the Ferrari 4000 series are very good laptops, combining good battery life with performance and a good screen. Only problem? Cost. You're paying for the Ferrari logo and build of the laptop, which, honestly speaking, I'm not a fan of. The asthetics just don't sit well with me.
