Me and my sister are going to buy a laptop. So I would like some help on choosing a laptop. I'm going to buy it a tigerdirect, since it's really cheap. Remember, price will play a big role. So, I want to start with the basics. When I go to the website it says amd or intel laptops. I googled it but couldn't find a really clear answer. So what do you guys recommend? Battery life wont be a problem. It'll only be at home. So we can always hook it up. The big programs that will be on it will probably be Photoshop, Flash, and my games. So what laptop type, Intel or AMD?

Also, the type of games i'll be playing are games where reaction time is crucial. I don't like mmorpgs much anymore. The type of games I like and play a lot are like league of legends and starcraft. So reaction time would be really needed. I'd be playing it hooked up with a mouse of course.
After looking at prices more, I think i'll buy desktop instead. Monitor won't be a problem, I can just buy a cheap one of ebay. So, intel or AMD pc?
