intel's are better so its worth the extra if there is one for that laptop.( haven't looked) as intel processesors have a switch of temp point on the processor so they dont go above 120c were'as AMD just keep getting hotter and hotter anything upto 500c+ which means putting it on ur lap is not possible. there are other reasons but thats one of the main ones thats going to effect day to day use.

mac discount is 15% so what ever a mac is these days. say 650-700 it may bring it down to like 550 or so. you have to go instore tho as it doesn't work online i dont think. unless they have stoped it as stated above. if not find someone who works in mcdonalds think they get discount to.

my laptop hit 80 and switched off the other day. it's an AMD dual core. too long playing games on facebook. Fail

 

[Gib#244]

Hmmm I would be willing to get a mac for £550 if you get a discount! only downside being all my mates have been to uni! anyone on here willing to give me a hand

Are you honestly saying that a laptop has the ability to get hotter than a f**king oven?

So AMD processors are not really worth the money? intel are the better ones to go for?
