"The notebook world is pretty much dominated by Intel Pentium M and Centrino branding at the moment, but that’s not to say that there isn’t an alternative. Just like in the desktop world, you can go with AMD rather than Intel inside your notebook, but you will be slightly more limited in your choice. Whereas the Pentium M is a chip that can turn its hand to performance applications, it’s also very battery friendly, while running cool enough to be slipped into the slimmest of chassis. The mobile Athlon 64 tends to find itself in desktop replacement machines, rather than ultra-portables; and although the recently announced AMD Turion could give the Pentium M a run for its money, it remains to be seen how well received it will be. So, hp’s decision to equip its Pavilion zv5464EA with an Athlon 64 chip makes sense, since this is a machine designed to be an affordable, mobile entertainment centre rather than a weapon for the road warrior."
If you're looking for a notebook for general purpose use, and some decent media functions, the hp Pavilion zv5464EA looks like a good bet.
