Difference between graphic cards

So my old laptop burnt out and trying to look for a new one.
My old laptop used Nvidia GeForce Go 7150 graphics and it worked pretty well for me (running Maple). I've ran on Intel graphic cards and I can say I notice a big difference. So no Intel graphics for me.

I was wondering how AMD Radeon (or other AMD) cards perform and is it comparable to Nvidia.

I prefer AMD, they're generally cheaper, and perform just as well.

I prefer Nvidia as well, but looking through what I want & price point for most laptops, doesnt seem like Nvidia's an option for me.
I usually just run Maple, dont really need some fancy graphics card. Though Intel 4000 doesnt run very smoothly for me

AMD cards usually have better performance for price.

For all practical purposes AMD and Nvidia graphical solutions perform mostly the same for most games depending on the GPU in question. Current generation Intel graphical solutions as well as the upcoming solutions that's part of Haswell should be more than enough to run something like MapleStory, though, I'd imagine; AMD's integrated APU solutions should also be good for something like that.

Intel don't make graphics cards, they make processors with intergrated graphics solutions.

AMD and nVidia are pretty comparable, just an issue of how much money you're willing to fork out.

Yes, it is comparable to Nvidia. They also perform slightly better or the same at the budget points.
