Joe, <I think the power consumption in 20s is fine, low 20s not a problem for full size laptops. The current mobile Durons are far from ideal mobile processors, yet, they are competitive.>

Competitive with what? If your power consumption goes up seven watts just to get another 100 MHz of performance, is that "competitive"? What's an extra 100 MHz worth to you? An hour of less battery life?

Let's take a step back from the usual Intel-AMD war. What are you personally looking for in a laptop? Me, if I were to buy a laptop today, I'd want the best performance and the most features available in the price range I'm looking at. Battery life and unplugged performance is not much of an issue for me, because I figure I'd be running this laptop 99% of the time plugged-in. How about you?
