Re: "I think notebooks, especially high end ones are like throwing money down the drain." I'm sure you would think otherwise if AMD had launched their 0.13 micron AthWiper4US ahead of Intel's Tualatin. But then - we expected that from you - you're SOOOOOOOOO predictable !

That said. I wonder if any of the corporate buyers read a notebook review...much less any review. I think Mhz comes into play and then it's the habit of buying Intel since their job is on the line. IMO corporate notebook purchasing is fundamentally different from corporate desktops. Bit like company cars - many executives get to choose their own.
