It's easier to move (Americans move an average of every 7 years)

Gee, is THAT why Americans are so fat? Lack of exercise?

Seriously, nobody's going to be buying a laptop because they're thinking about how hard its going to be to move it in 7 years. Seven years from now, it'll be a piece of crap that they'll tell their friends who are helping load the truck - "Hey, I'm not going to bother moving that piece of junk - if you want it, you can have it. But don't forget the beer!"

AMD thinks they're hot stuff because they took apart an Intel chip and duplicated it (literally). So, AMD design is Intel design. Therefore, I'm not really sure how AMD can be better. It is, after all, the stereotypical cheap knock-off. And (personal rant aside) Intel has a more reputable name and more experience in the industry. That's how they manage to make a bigger deal over the same "shit."
