[dba-Tech] Laptop Recommendation

I've had both and would side with the AMD arguments. One thing I've seen in
test result comments but have never verified is that some - if not all
Athlons will burn up very quickly when the fan dies while the Pentiums will
turn themselves off if they reach a certain temperature.

To reinterate(!) I have no idea if this is true or not.

Can someone attest to this either way?

This is very true.  To some it's as religious as unbound forms or
natural pk's, or even setting arbitrary field lenghths in lookup table
fields ;o).
