Depends on what you plan to use this notebook for.

In theory, there are benefits to use the 64bit version.

In practice, these benefits (esp. on a "desktop notebook") are hardly 
measurable and can easily be outweighed by other factors attached to 64bit.

So, my answer to your question: Provided how you ask, you likely don't 
have real uses for 64bit.
