For 99+% of non-gaming computer users, today's mid range chips have more than enough processing power. I wanted a bigger, brighter screen, a faster hard drive, and more RAM on a laptop and getting an one with an AMD processor was less painful to my budget. Of course, applying Murphy's Law to computing, if I had only waited, I might have gotten more processing power for my money. From what I have seen, the power supply is as important as any other component. The 350W power supply on my desktop is sufficient only for one of the graphics cards that share system RAM and I am reluctant to add a second hard drive without putting my system in danger of overheating.
