Not trolling, just the linux fanboy in you.

Which sorta is trolling ^_^
But I'm ok with that.

So what? You're biased towards whichever chip suits your needs best.
I'm biased to whichever chip gives a better cost/performance ratio. From some numbers I've seen, it's a tie - with Intel just barely scraping ahead ... by $5 and a few percentage points of performance. There is no real leader kicking anyone down in my books.

Yeah, but that difference is still what makes certain people argue. Kind of like a Honda vs Toyota debate.
"Liek the S2k is so much better than the Supra."
"Fuck you, a properly tuned Supra can beat a GTR and your shitty S2k any day."
"We use less gas"
"Our design is better!"
"We're easier to mod!"
"We have less fanboys!"
"We don't sound like a weed whacker when poorly modded!"
"We don't look like soccer mom slaves getting out of our vehicles!"
etc. etc. etc.

You have shamed us all. I feel like a monkey now.

Elaborate cooling setups that run at around $100-200 - including nice water pipes with ferrofluid vs water, peltier coolers - etc. 50% minimum is what I consider "overclocking" into worthwhile territory. Anything in the 20s and less - is just using your hardware smart - not - overclocking.
This is like running your old P1-100 at 133, just because it could. ( 30% speed increase using nothing but crappy stuff that looks like your northbridge heatsink. That chip was pretty good. )
These "safe" overclocks, that's not overclocking - that's being a wuss. :) It's so safe - that some manufactures "pre-overclock" the stuff and slap a lifetime warranty on it.

Laptops are trash, imo. That thing's destined for the trash even before you buy it. Only thing I'd ever buy in a laptop - is one under $400 - something I can throw up in the air, hit it with a baseball bat - and feel great after the fact. ( or sell it for parts on ebay to some chump who repairs em. )

Well, I'm aware that overclock chat is over, but I overclock my hardware, but make sure I have good enough cooling for it and a stable clock, it really is worth the performance boost and honestly if your components are cool enough they should last you quite a few years. As for the water cooling, well actually no additive/fluid comes close to how cool water can keep your components except for Fesser 1, which is way more expensive than just going with some simple, old fashioned distilled water (can't seem to find the article). All you really need is a biocide and your set, fluids do make it a bit "safer" but even the non-conductiveness isn't as non-conductive as they'd like to make you believe and is not worth the price IMO.
& yeah, laptops are trash.
