That is generally my understanding as well, at least for |
| 13 |
desktop/server situations when you're buying parts. |

For a laptop you really have to look at the whole package. Raw CPU |
| 16 |
perf-per-dollar is often not the biggest concern with a laptop. As |
| 17 |
long as it meets your performance specs you're mostly going to be |
| 18 |
worried about form, battery, and so on. So, I really wouldn't obsess |
| 19 |
over AMD vs Intel. |

I have been buying all AMD lately for my regular hosts and do my own |
| 22 |
builds. My only recent laptop is a combo form that runs Intel, |
| 23 |
because it was the form I wanted (Acer Switch running Win10 and a |
| 24 |
bunch of Win-specific software). You're probably going to find more |
| 25 |
Intel options in this space in any case. |
