New Notebook Recommendations?

[Logan Kennelly]

I am looking into buying a new notebook computer for use as a
general-purpose machine.  One of my primary uses on the old laptop was
for testing new *nix systems (FreeBSD, various distributions of Linux,
etc.).

I am considering buying from PC Club (www.pcclub.com), but if anybody
else has any suggestions, I am willing to listen.

The question I am more interested in, however, is whether I should go
with an Intel or an AMD mobile processor.  Intel seems to have some very
nice features for their mobile line, but I have been unable to locate
some good comparisons of the two.  If somebody on the list has
researched this item, I would love to hear from you.

Thank you ahead of time.

PS: I would really love an Apple system, but then I couldn't use it as
test bed.  Still, if someone can sell me on Mac OS X . . .

PPS: I am sorry that I butchered the English language in the above message.  
I am hungry, and my brain is not working properly.
