I don't remember where i read it, i htink it was toms hardware or maybe hardware canucks but the mobile(laptop) chips were tested and amd's mobile processors were actually out performing intels.
A long time ago maybe. Since Centrino and more recently the Core CPUs have been release, Intel have offered the better mobile gaming platforms.

I have MBed 5 instances on a 17" Dell XPS M1710 for the last 18 months or so. Handled TBC fine, have since upgrade to a desktop for better WotLK performance, but there are now lappies available that could do that fine also.

The major necessity is the 4GB ram. This is an absolute minimum and until recently was once of the biggest caps on lappy MBing. Out of the 2 laptops, definitely pick the one with the 3650 and intel CPU. If possible, I would look for a laptop with better graphics however, especially if you want a 1920 x 1200 screen. There are a few Asus laptops with 9650/9700 chips which I would consider a minimum, with the 8800/9800s being better and the newer mobile GTX200 series being even better. You will find it harder to find machines with these specs and you will pay a lot more for them. If you decide to go down this track, my only other recommendation would be to get a mobile quad core for MBing also.
