My current laptop computer is an Acer with a 1.4GHz Celeron M processor. Recently I've been having a few problems with it and I think now is the time to move on!
My question is about the different types of processor available. The computers I have looked at online have all been either Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64X2. The Athlon ones are cheaper in general than the Intel, but is there a marked drop in performance? I won't be gaming but I need to edit and produce music as well as more general things like watching DVDs and surfing etc.
Somebody has told me the Athlon processors are less stable and more prone to crashing; is there any truth in this? Would I be better off spending a little more for an Intel or are the Athlons just as good with a smaller price tag?
