AMD tends to have good power efficiency, and the intel Pentium M and Core Duos are very respectable laptob processors too.

I too have never used an HP laptop, but have had very good experiences with their desktops. Our first family computer was an HP, but due to lack of virus protection after the free trial ran out, we got a virus, and had to get it rebuilt, so it's no longer an HP.
However, the desktop I use currently, which was bought this past December, is an HP and I love it. It does have an AMD 3700+ processor, and is always cool, quiet, fast, and efficient. I have little need to upgrade any internal parts, since it's fairly new. Also, HP has
excellent customer service support. My hp mouse was spazzing out on me, so I called them up, they said that they'd send me a new one, and I received it in less than 2 days. So while I cannot speak about their laptops, HP provides good quality products and customer service, and AMD makes great processors.
