I am shopping for a new laptop for the mrs. Likely will be a Dell - she has one now and likes it and we have had little trouble with it.

They have either the AMD or Intel processor configs. How do these compare?

In particular the alternatives would be:

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7250 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB cache)

OR


AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 (1.9GHz/1MB)

She does pretty standard user tasks - email, web-surfing, music - but is also a heavy PS3/Lightroom user as she is a Photog.

The price difference between the two variations nets to around $100 (intel dearer).
