Anyway real question! In the last thread I was asking about laptops. I was avoiding Apple because of their hefty price tags on laptops. So I found some reasonable ones, but they had AMD Turion II processors. I was told to avoid them due to problems with certain software. The other recommendation was intel. My question is what kind of intel processor? There is so many to choose from! And I'm kinda dumb at this.

To be honest, it appears (to me) that buying a mac is a good option because they tend to just work. On Windows based laptops (I've also heard of bootcamped macs doing it) you can often run into DPC latency issues and they often boil down to slowly turning devices things on/off until it settles. For me it turned out to be some rogue USB controller for a set of ports I didn't care about but it was an annoying problem to solve.
