ohh, intel is definitely worth the money... go i5 or i7 fo sho....
yeah i know i have a intel right nowbut intel are just to expensive. the phenom x4 performs just as good for a much lower price tag

depends on what you use it for, intel has much higher computational processing power, good for things like 3d rendering, file servers, etc, amd is a solid processor, but good for things like photoshop, flash, and online games..
Just sell a couple good nugs. That should get you an i5, I have a buddy that works at Intel, lemmi ask him how much he can get an i5 for...
lol, remember .bz2?
I just got an i5 with NVIDIA and cuda processing. it also has a SSD. love it!
solid state drive
An SSD has no moving parts. So it's silent, and theoretically lasts longer than HDD. (Yet to be fully proven.) Beyond that, they usually have the same access speed, meaning, the throughput (amount of data) that gets passed between the Hard Disk (or Stateless Drive) is relatively the same and is only governed by the amount of RAM you possess. Meaning, if you have a 128GB SSD with 2GB RAM, and you have a 128GB HDD with 8GB RAM, I would take the HDD computer -- because the throughput is relatively the same, but the amount of "instant access" memory, or RAM ( Random Access Memory ) is greater, meaning your applications respond faster.
Don't get me wrong, Macbook Air is badass. ( And that is an example of good use of an SSD )
yeah but the specs of the mac book air are pretty weak for the price. it also is very limited on ports.
