If you're a power user or road warrior, we recommend Intel's Centrino 2 because it offers superior overall performance and multitasking abilities, as well as significantly longer battery life. However, AMD's Puma platform offers much better integrated graphics performance, and it's Wi-Fi connection was slightly faster. If you're into playing mainstream games (no, not Crysis), AMD Puma is the better choice, assuming you're not going to spend more for a dedicated graphics card from ATI or Nvidia.

You can pick up a Puma Toshiba laptop here at Radio Shack for only $849.
