Maybe. There's nothing inherently bad about AMD's laptop CPUs. They're much better laptop CPUs than Pentium 4 variants -- the Pentium 4, Celeron (no suffix), and Celeron D -- they offer equal or better performance, cheaper, and use less power. They're not as good as Pentium M variants (Pentium M, Celeron M) -- which offer about the same performance and use still less power (and by a large margin, too).
However, getting a good AMD-powered laptop from a major vendor is difficult, and build-your-own isn't really an option in the laptop space.
