AMD vs. Intel

I'm looking at laptops for a college student.  It seems that many of them 
are running AMD processors rather than Intel.  What are the advantages or 
disadvantages of one over the other?  I seem to remember some heat problems 
with AMD processors (which doesn't seem like such a good thing for a 
laptop) - have these been fixed?  Is there a specific processor (either AMD 
or Intel) to avoid?  Is there one that is obviously better than another? 
Should I ignore the processor altogether and look only at memory and 
storage?

TIA,

Steve
