2 things to know when starting off looking.
1) Intel kick's AMD's butt in the laptop processors
2) Centrino is a marketing term from Intel. For a laptop maker to use to term Centrino, the laptop must include an Intel processor, Intel chipset, and Intel WiFi. So 2 laptops could be identical except for the WiFi circuitry, and only one would be able to use the term Centrino.
The difference between the T3200 & T5800 is Front side bus (667MHz vs 800MHz) and L2 cache (1MB vs 2MB). So the T5800 is better, but not by very much. Probably not worth paying extra.
