I don't know if this is an appropriate question for this forum but here is  
my question:
I am wanting to buy a new laptop. Our old one is 10 years old and is quite  
slow.  In speaking with various IT techs at the store I get conflicting  
information on which is a better laptop.  Each laptop seems to have pros  and 
cons and I'm just trying to avoid the ones with the most cons.  Is  Intel or 
AMD better? (I was told AMD but then someone else said the  laptops get too 
hot - they're only better for desktops) Toshiba, Asus, HP,  Dell???  I'd 
like to keep the cost between 3 & $400.00.  Any help  would be appreciated.
