Open Question: Intel celeron 900 or AMD V140 processor for a laptop?

I'm looking at two cheap laptops as I'm on a budget. I'll just be surfing the Internet and watching YouTube videos and DVDs and messing around on Facebook and playing farmville on Facebook. One of them is the compaq pressario cq56-219wm from Walmart and it has the intel celeron 900 processor 2.2GHz for $328 and the other is a compaq pressario cq56-115dx from best buy and it has the AMD V-series V140 processor 2.3GHz for $279. Idk which to get?????? They seem to be identical besides the difference in the processors. I found one quick review,,

The AMD’s V Series V140 and the Intel’s Celeron 900 are found in a large number of entry level notebooks. So what is the difference and how do the V Series V140 and the Celeron 900 Compare ? Read on ….
