At any rate, in spite of the FUD from some people, Intel looks like they have a compelling roadmap going forward, and AMD does not seem to have the "next best thing" waiting as a response.
Intel always has compelling roadmaps, which don't always lead where they're telling you they are leading. Right now, all the road maps go through a single narrow mountain pass called Merom. So, I would not yet count the chickens. The eggs look fine, very pregnent, but it is not like having chickens. The harrow mountain pass may still turn out unpassable, or the road conditions there may be bad, causing delays.
In the meantime, BTW, the CPU that you called desktop CPU pretending to be a notebook CPU is giving Dothan a run for its money. Wait a minute more than run for its money, Dothan is barely keeping up with the second best Turion CPU line - the ML line: http://www.laptoplogic.com/resources/articles/42/1/1/
Their conclusion:
After 21 benchmarks, 2 comparisons, and a detailed architecture analysis, the conclusion is clear. Unless battery life while performing CPU-intensive tasks is paramount, choosing a Turion-based laptop over a Dothan-based laptop is recommended.
A bit surprising, if you asked me, but what do I know. I hate notebooks. But you are raving about notebooks practically non-stop, and if there is no substantial flaw in the review, it looks like your analysis could not be have been more off base.
