.....what are the strengths/weaknesses? which would you guys recommend for a basic email, web, music listening type laptop? thanks.

Personally, I only do Intel. Basically, it's a user preference.
For the usage you posted, either will be fine.

Intel seems to run cooler than amd. Overall intel well give you better preformance and a longer life, if you take care of the laptop well. AMD seems to be a bit hotter, shorter life, however far cheaper. If money isn't an issue, go with intel.

If it matters, intel "feels" sort of slower response than AMD however when an application is running it seems intel is slightly more stable.
