In a Laptop, yes.

As long as it does what I want, I don't really care what brand the processor is. But I will admit, I like AMD centered stuff better. AMD PCs tend to give you more for your money.

From my experience, the only place the processor brand really matters is in a laptop. In laptops, good Intel chips give you a lot more in battery life.
