- stay away from laptops with desktop CPUs, the laptop would always be hot,
centrino is an excellent chip for laptops, don't know about AMD but they usaualy
heat more,

- consider that in the future it will be easyer to upgrade ram (you just plug it
in) than HD (you eithter replace and reinstall OS, or use an external one) so in
doubt opt for th larger HD rather larger ram,

- depends on your needs but an entry level laptop for most users is more then
enough, and e.g. spending for a fast video cards is in many cases a huge waste
of money,

- with DELL, HP and ASUS you'll never be wrong with laptops
