Choosing the right processor

It almost seems as if choosing the proper processor is one of the most important factors when it comes to the purchase of my laptop. I am a computer noobie when it comes to processors. I was wondering if anyone who is knowledgable with processors can help me choose some processors that would suit me. Right now I have a HP G62 Notebook with the Intel i5 M430 processor. Just like any human, my laptop is getting old & tired. And It's time for a new one.

I use my laptop 99% for internet purposes. No gaming whatsoever. All internet. For example, I'll have the google map broswer open as well as 4 or 5 other folders from various websites all open at the same time. When I use google maps I want the time it takes between going from the satellite view to the street view of whatever I'm looking at to take place within seconds, not 12 seconds, but like 3 seconds. I might have microsoft word or excel up at the same time. I hope my description of how I use my laptop is good enough. I am thinking the Intel i7 processor would be good. I'm just not sure which one, as there are 15+ to choose from. Maybe it doesn't even matter for me? Maybe 1 or 2 suggestions - one where the price is no budget and another where price/value somewhat lineup with each-other. Or intel is not even the right one for me? AMD? Help!
