Well I'm a Product specialist at CC, and the general opinion about the AMD processors for laptops (The Turion 64) is "smokin' fast!" Regardless if it's the single core, Turion 64, or the Dual core, Turion 64x2, the general public seems to like AMD now.
Before Intel released the Intel Core 2 duo, AMD was was pacing foward, and now the Intel core 2 duo is dominate. It's one of the fastest processors currently, but, as you've said, the pricing is a little high.
So... IMHO, if it's price then AMD processors will do you right, they're still fast.. It isn't like you're buying a celeron or a sempron, ya know?
And if speed is your domain, Intel core 2 duo
